Title: Requirements for Recognition as

OMB Control Number: 2900–0850.
Type of Review: Extension of a

Abstract: In order for an organization
to provide representation to claimants
before VA regarding claims for VA
benefits, the organization must be
recognized by VA for that purpose.
Section 5902(a) of title 38, United States
Code, authorizes VA to recognize
organizations for the limited purpose of
ensuring competent representation of
veterans in claims for benefits
administered by VA. VA implemented
this authority in 38 CFR 14.628. An
organization must apply for VA
recognition, supplying information as
specified in section 14.628 to
demonstrate that it satisfies the legal
requirements for recognition.
(Organizations may provide services to
veterans without VA recognition if the
services do not include the preparation,
presentation, and prosecution of claims
for VA benefits.) The information
submitted by the organizations in
conjunction with a request for
recognition is used by VA in reviewing
accreditation applications to determine
whether organizations meet the
requirements for VA recognition under
section 14.628. VA relies on this
information to ensure that it is granting
recognition only to organizations that
can provide long-term, competent
representation to VA claimants.
Affected Public: Individuals, not-forprofit institutions, and State, local, or
Tribal governments.
Estimated Annual Burden: 50 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 5 hours.
Frequency of Response: One time.
