Title: Application for Accreditation as Service Organization Representative, VA Form 21; Accreditation Cancellation Information. OMB Control Number: 2900–0018. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection and modification to the collection. Abstract: Service organizations are required to file an application with VA to establish eligibility for accreditation for representatives of that organization to represent benefit claimants before VA. VA Form 21 is completed by service organizations to establish accreditation for representatives, recertify the qualifications of accredited representatives. Organizations requesting cancellation of a representative’s accreditation based on misconduct or incompetence or resignation to avoid cancellation of accreditation based upon misconduct or incompetence, are required to inform VA of the specific reason for the cancellation request. VA will use the information collected to determine whether service organizations representatives continue to meet regulatory eligibility requirements to ensure claimants have qualified representatives to assist in the preparation, presentation and prosecution of their claims for benefits. VA is modifying the collection to include an optional request to permit the organization to provide an email address and phone number in which the representative may be reached. VA believes that the additional contact information pertaining to the organization will be helpful in that it provides an additional means of communication between VA and the organization as well as provides an additional way that Veterans and their family may contact the representative. The organization may choose to provide a general phone number and email address for the organization, e.g., tampa@vso.com, or the representative’s individual email address through the organization and direct phone number, e.g., johnsmith@vso.com.VA does not anticipate the modification request will result in an additional burden. VA believes that the organizations already have the information available to them, E:\FR\FM\20MYN1.SGM 20MYN1
