With respect to the following

comments on: (1) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of VBA’s
functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(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, including through the use

Title: Decision Review Request:

OMB Control Number: 2900–0862.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 20–0996, Decision
Review Request: Higher-Level Review is
used by a claimant to formally request
a Higher-Level Review of an initial VA
decision, in accordance with the
Appeals Modernization Act. The
information collected is used by VA to
identify the issues in dispute which the
claimant seeks review of in the HigherLevel Review Lane. Additionally, the
information collected is used to
schedule a telephonic informal
conference, when requested.
This is revision to the form. Changes
include significant revisions to the
PO 00000

instructions section to make them easier
to understand. New sections were added
to the form to provide clarify and easier
completion: Claimant’s Identification
Information, Benefit Type, SOC/SSOC
Opt-In from Legacy Appeals System,
and Authorized Representative
Signature. The section on requesting
informal conferences was edited to
make it easier to understand and
complete. Examples were added to the
Issues for Higher-Level Review section.
Formatting changes were made to
simplify the form. Optical character
recognition boxes were added to assist
scanning technology.
There is a decrease in the respondent
burden because the associated control
number originally included two forms
but we are using this revision to
separate the two forms into two control
numbers and only VA Form 20–0996
will remain under the current control
number.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 23,375
hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 15 minutes.
