SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Correction

    FR Doc. 2022-21017, published on Wednesday, September 28, 2022, at 
87 FR 187, make the following corrections. On page 58945, under the 
heading ``Abstract,'' please correct and replace the language with, 
``VA Form 21-526EZ is used to collect the information needed to process 
a claim for disability compensation and related compensation benefits. 
Though, this form was initially created to be used to submit fully 
developed claims (FDC), it has evolved into a standard claim form to be 
used for any benefit associated with disability compensation; to 
include new or initial claims and claims for increase.
    The respondent burden for VA Form 21-526EZ has increased due to: 
the number of receivables averaged over the past year, general program 
changes--such as regulatory changes, and the continuing improvement of 
VA's electronic claims processing systems.
    VA Form 21-526EZ has been updated, to include: new instructions on 
presumptive service connection; the GENDER question has been removed; a 
new Section IV: Exposure Information, including new questions that 
identify toxic exposures the claimant may have been exposed to during 
service; and an `Addendum' has been added to provide additional space 
for disabilities if the claimant has more than the space provided in 
Section V: Claim Information.

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