    OMB Control Number: 2900-NEW.
    Type of Review: New collection.

basic information from which potential liability can be assessed for VA 
to recover the cost of care from the liable party instead of the 
American taxpayer and Veteran paying for the care. Failure to provide 
any or all of the requested information may delay or result in VA's 
inability to create accident-related billing, assert a claim for 
reimbursement, and assist the Veteran in their personal injury or 
workers compensation claim. Without a third party paying for the care, 
the Veteran may owe VA copayments. With regards to the CHAMPVA form 
alone: Failure to provide any or all of the requested information may 
delay or result in VA's inability to provide CHAMPVA benefits.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a 
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of 
information was published at 83 FR 16922 on April 17, 2018, pages 16922
