    Title: National and Regional Veterans Day Planning Collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0921.
    Type of Review: Approval of a proposed collection.
    Abstract: Since 1954, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 
has overseen the National Veterans Day Observance at Arlington National 
Cemetery (ANC) to honor the men and women who have served and continue 
to serve in the U.S. Uniformed Services during war and peacetime. 
Hundreds of military Veterans from communities throughout America and 
leaders from across the federal government, including the President of 
the United States or his designee, participate in the National Veterans 
Day Observance at ANC each year. In addition, tens of thousands of 
others participate in VA-approved regional Veterans Day events.
    The National Veterans Outreach Office is the VA team that plans and 
executes the National Veterans Day Observance. VA Forms 0918d, 0918e, 
0918f, and 0918g are the instruments of collection for this activity. 
The information collected is used to collaborate with regional partners 
and select VA-approved Veterans Day observances across the country; 
evaluate Veteran-serving organizations for potential membership onto 
the Veterans Day National Committee; collect annual dues from Veterans 
Day National Committee members, per the committee's bylaws; and 
determine the number of custom Veterans Day lapel pins, National 
Observance invitations and bench seat tickets are required by each 
Veterans Day National Committee member organization. The collection 
requires the public to provide only the information necessary to 
support the planning efforts.
    Affected Public: State and local governments; Veteran-serving non-
profit organizations.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 28 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 11 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 158.

    By direction of the Secretary.
