Title: Submission of School Catalog to the State Approving Agency. OMB Control Number: 2900–0568. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Abstract: State Approving Agencies and VA use the catalogs to determine what courses can be approved for VA training. VA receives catalogs when institutions change their education programs, tuition and fees and calendars, etc. In general, the catalogs are collected twice a year. Without the catalogs, VA and SAAs cannot determine what courses could be approved. There was a decrease in burden during this renewal period because, unlike for the previous submission, we now take the annual average number of catalogs received during periods 2019, 2020 and 2021, rather than the actual grand total of the number of catalogs received for those periods. 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 87 FR 247 on December 27, 2022, page 79449. Affected Public: Individuals and Households. Estimated Annual Burden: 891 hours. Estimated Average Burden Time per Respondent: 15 minutes. Frequency of Response: Twice Annually.
