SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Authority: 38 U.S.C. 1505 and 5313.
    Title: Notice to Department of Veterans Affairs of Veteran or 
Beneficiary Incarcerated in Penal Institution (VA Form 21-4193).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0116.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement of a previously approved collection.
    Abstract: VA Form 21-4193 is used to gather information from penal 
institutions about incarcerated VA beneficiaries. When beneficiaries 
are incarcerated in penal institutions in excess of 60 days after 
conviction, VA benefits are reduced or terminated. Without this 
collection of information, VA would be unable to accurately adjust the 
rates of incarcerated beneficiaries and overpayments would result.
    No substantive changes have been made to this form. The respondent 
burden has increased due to the estimated number of receivables 
averaged over the past year.
    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 87 FR 133
