SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521.
    Title: VA Financial Services Center (VA-FSC) Vendor File Request 
Form (VA Form 10091).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0846.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The authorizing statute for this data collection falls 
under 31 U.S.C. 3701 and Public Law 104-134, Section 31001, Debt 
Collection Improvement Act of 1996. The mission of the Nationwide 
Vendor File Division of the Department of Veterans Affairs--Financial 
Services Center (VA-FSC) is to add, modify, or delete vendor records in 
the Financial Management Services (FMS) vendor file. The VA-FSC FMS 
vendor file controls aspects of when, where, and how vendors are paid. 
There are currently more than 2.4 million active vendor records in FMS.
    The VA-FSC Vendor File Request Form, VA Form 10091, was previously 
created to streamline the data required to establish a vendor record 
from multiple sources into a single form. VA-FSC developed a web-based 
version of the 10091, in addition to the paper version, and will fully 
transition to use of the web-based form. VA now seeks a routine three-
year renewal of the previous OMB PRA clearance. VA Form 10091 will be 
used throughout the VA to gather essential payment data from vendors 
(commercial, individuals, Veterans, employees, etc.) to establish or 
update vendor records in order to process electronic payments through 
the
