ADDRESSES: Submit written comments
on the collection of information through

(FDMS) at www.Regulations.gov; or to
Brian McCarthy, Office of Regulatory
and Administrative Affairs, Veterans
Health Administration (10B4),
Department of Veterans Affairs, 810

During the comment period, comments
may be viewed online through FDMS.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Brian McCarthy at (202) 461–6345.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13; 44 U.S.C.
3501–3521), Federal agencies must
obtain approval from OMB for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. This request for comment is
being made pursuant to Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA.
With respect to the following
collection of information, VHA invites
comments on: (1) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of VHA’s
functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of VHA’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, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
the use of other forms of information
technology.
Titles: Agent Orange Registry Code
Sheet, VA Form 10–9009.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0376.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA employees obtain
demographic data from existing records.
The examining physician,
Environmental Health (EH) Coordinator
(formerly identified as the Agent Orange
coordinator)/or other designated
personnel obtain the remainder of the
information during the Agent Orange
registry physical examination process.
The information obtained from the
Veteran is entered directly onto an
electronic VA Agent Orange Form 10–
9009, Agent Orange Registry Worksheet
(formerly identified as an Agent Orange
Registry Code Sheet), via a secured Web
site https://vaww.registries.aac.va.gov by
VA personnel and transmitted directly
to the Environmental Agents Service
(EAS) Agent Orange Registry database
PO 00000
Frm 00117
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

located at the Austin Information
Technology Center (AITC), Austin, TX.
Edits are automatically accomplished at
the time of entry. The EAS Registries
Web site allows you to edit pretty much
all the information that has been
entered. Some VA facilities will enter
the information into the EAS Registries
Web site while the Veteran is sitting in
front of them. Other facilities will have
the Veteran and the examiner complete
the Agent Orange Worksheet on paper
form, and then later enter the worksheet
data into the EAS Registries Web site.
VHA Handbook 1302.01, dated 9/5/06
states: ‘‘AOR worksheets and dated
follow-up letters must be scanned, or
made electronic, and attached to an
appropriately titled CPRS progress
note.’’
The registry provides a mechanism to
catalogue prominent symptoms,
reproductive health, and diagnoses and
to communicate with Agent Orange
Veterans. VA keeps Veterans informed
on research findings or new
compensation policies through periodic
newsletters. The voluntary, self-selected
nature of this registry makes it valuable
for health surveillance; however, it is
not designed or intended to be a
research tool and therefore, the results
cannot be generalized to represent all
Agent Orange Veterans.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 6,667
hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 20 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Estimated Annual Responses: 20,000.
