Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of a currently approved collection, and allow 60 days for public comment in response to the notice. This notice solicits comments on the information needed to determine a veteran’s dental treatment needs, and the fees associated for these services.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on the collection of information to Ann Bickoff, Veterans Health Administration (193E1), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20420 or e-mail ann.bickoff@mail.va.gov. Please refer to ‘‘OMB Control No. 2900–0335’’ in any correspondence. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ann Bickoff at (202) 273–8310. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA of 1995 (Public Law 104–13; 44 U.S.C. 3501–21), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.

Title: Dental Record Authorization and Invoice for Outpatient Services, VA Form 10–2570d. OMB Control Number: 2900–0335. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Abstract: VA Form 10–2570d is essential to the proper administration of VA outpatient fee dental program. The associated instructions make it possible to communicate with clarity the required procedures, peculiarities, and precautions associated with VA authorizations for contracting with private dentists for the provision of dental treatment for eligible veteran beneficiaries. Since most of the veterans who are authorized fee dental care are geographically inaccessible to VA dental clinics, it is necessary to request information as to the veteran’s oral condition, treatment needs and the usual customary fees for these services from the private fee dentist whom the veteran has selected. The form lists the dental treatment needs of the veteran patient, the cost to VA to provide such services, and serves as an invoice for payment. VA uses the data collected to verify the veteran’s eligibility to receive dental benefits. Affected Public: Business and other for profit. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 4,153 hours. Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 20 minutes. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Number of Respondents: 12,460. Dated: August 24, 2006. By direction of the Secretary. Denise McLamb, Program Analyst, Records Management Service. [FR Doc. E6–15098 Filed 9–12–06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 8320–01–P E:\FR\FM\13SEN1.SGM 13SEN1
