SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Authority: 38 U.S.C. 5307.
    Title: Information Regarding Apportionment of Beneficiary's Award 
(VA Form 21-0788).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0666.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement of a previously approved collection.
    Abstract: VA Form 21-0788 is used to collect the information that 
is necessary to determine whether an apportionment may be authorized 
and the reasonable amount that may be awarded. Without this collection 
of information, VA would be unable to properly authorize apportionments 
of compensation and pension benefits.
    No substantive changes have been made to this form. The respondent 
burden has decreased due to the estimated number of receivables 
averaged over the past two years.
    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 50 on March 17, 2021, pages 14686 
and 14687.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 1,606.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 30 minutes.

    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,211.

    By direction of the Secretary.
