SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: US Code 38 Section 3689.
Title: Approval of Licensing or
Certification Test and Organization or
Entity.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0697.
Type of Review: Reinstatement of a
previously approved collection.
Abstract: SAAs and VA will use the
information to decide whether the
licensing and certification tests, and the
organizations offering them, should be
approved for use under the education
programs VA administers. VA did not
develop an official form for this
information collection since section
3689 of title 38, United States Code,
permitted VA to delegate the approval
functions to the State Approving
Agencies; and from the inception of this
information collection, VA has given the
State Approving Agencies the authority
to approve licensing and certification
tests and organizations. Consequently,
the State Approving Agencies have
PO 00000
Frm 00116
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990

developed their own forms to gather
information they will need per their
respective state laws to decide whether
the licensing and certification tests and
the organizations offering them should
be approved. In the case of an
organization seeking approval directly
from VA, any information VA receives
concerning the request for approval is
forwarded directly to the appropriate
State Approving Agency. Since SAAs
have approval authority, education
institutions and licensing and
certification organizations supply
information to the SAAs for approval in
a manner specified by the SAA.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on this collection
of information was published at 82 FR
82 on March 17, 2017, pages 14277–
14278.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 817 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 3 hours.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
2451 respondents.
