SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Authority: 38 U.S.C. 3034(a), 3034(b), 3323(a), 3323(b), 3471, 
3513, 3521, and 3691.
    Title: Dependent's Request for Change of Program or Place of 
Training.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0099.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: VA uses the information collection to determine (1) if 
the claimant continues to qualify for education benefits when taking a 
different program of training and (2) to verify that a new place of 
training is approved for benefits. The information on the form can be 
obtained only from the individual claimant. VA cannot make an 
eligibility determination without this information. There is a decrease 
in the number of burden hours due to a decrease in the average number 
of forms received for periods 2019, 2020 and 2021.
    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 74698 on December 6, 2022, page 
74698.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 11,358 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden Time per Respondent: 15 minutes.
