SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA of 1995, Federal agencies must 
obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each 
collection of information they conduct or sponsor. This request for 
comment is being made pursuant to Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA.
    With respect to the following collection of information, Veterans 
Benefits Administration (VBA) invites comments on: (1) Whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of VBA's functions, including whether the information will 
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of VBA's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information; (3) ways to enhance 
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; 
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or the use of other forms of information technology.
    Authority: 38 United States Code (U.S.C.) 3104(a)(7).
    Title: Receipt of Supplies (Chapter 31--Veteran Readiness and 
Employment), VA Form 28-1905r.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-XXXX.
    Type of Review: Request for approval of a new collection.
    Abstract: A claimant will use VA Form 28-1905r, Receipt of Supplies 
(Chapter 31--Veteran Readiness and Employment), to verify that the 
supplies and/or equipment provided as part of a rehabilitation program 
under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 31 have been received and are in good 
condition. The VR&E program subsequently uses the information on this 
form to justify processing payments for the supplies and/or equipment 
provided to claimants under 38 U.S.C. 3104(a)(7). Without the 
information gathered on this form, the VR&E program would be unable to 
verify that the claimant received the supplies and/or equipment, which 
could result in inaccurate payments being rendered.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 4,667 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 10 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 28,000.

    By direction of the Secretary.
Maribel Aponte,
VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of Enterprise and Integration/Data 
Governance Analytics, Department of Veterans Affairs.
