    Title: Request for Employment Information in Connection with Claim 
for Disability Benefits (VA Form 21-4192).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0065.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement of a previously approved collection.
    Abstract: VA Form 21-4192 is used to gather necessary employment

    This is a reinstatement only, with no substantive changes, and the 
respondent burden has decreased.
    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 86 FR 45 on March 10, 2021, pages 13791 
and 13792.

    Estimated Number of Respondents: 25,250.

    By direction of the Secretary.
