(2) the accuracy of VBA's estimate of the burden of the proposed 
collection of information; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,

    Authority: Title 38 U.S.C. 1506, 1521, 1541, and 1542.
    Title: Supplemental Income Questionnaire (For Philippine Claims 
Only).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0668.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: VA Form 21P-0784 is primarily used to gather income 
information that is necessary to determine eligibility for Pension 
benefits. Entitlement to pension cannot be determined without complete 
information about a claimant's family income and net worth. Claimants 
residing in the Philippines have different types of income than 
claimants residing in the United States, and this form better captures 
those types of income than other VA Pension forms.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 30 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 15 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: One time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 120.

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