Department of Veterans Affairs, will submit the collection of 
information abstracted below to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for review and comment. The PRA submission describes the nature

Please refer to ``OMB Control No. 2900-0568'' in any correspondence.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Authority: Title 38 U.S.C. 3675; 3676; 38 CFR 21.4253 and 21.4254.
    Title: Submission of School Catalog to the State Approving Agency.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0568.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: State Approving Agencies and VA use the catalogs to 
determine what courses can be approved for VA training. VA receives 
catalogs when institutions change their education programs, tuition and 
fees and calendars, etc. In general, the catalogs are collected twice a 
year. Without the catalogs, VA and SAAs cannot determine what courses 
could be approved. There was a decrease in burden during this renewal 
period because, unlike for the previous submission, we now take the 
annual average number of catalogs received during periods 2019, 2020 
and 2021, rather than the actual grand total of the number of catalogs 
received for those periods.
    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 247 on December 27, 2022, page 
79449.
    Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 891 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden Time per Respondent: 15 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: Twice Annually.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,567.

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