Title: Monthly Certification of On-the-Job and Apprenticeship
Training.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0178.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Benefits are authorized monthly based on the number of
hours worked by the trainee as verified by the training establishment.
Unscheduled terminations result in the termination of benefits. If
hours are reduced to less than a full-time work schedule, a reduction
of benefits will occur. Public Law 115-89 ``Veterans Apprenticeship and
Labor Opportunity Reform Act'' (VALOR Act) was signed into law on
November 21, 2017. Section 3 of this law amended 38 U.S.C. 3680(c) to
eliminate the trainee's certification requirement. As a result, this
form is only completed, signed, and certified by the training
establishment to report the trainee's number of hours worked and/or to
report the trainee's date of termination. The form no longer requires
the signature of the trainee. The form is then sent to the Regional
Processing Office (RPO) for processing.
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 86 FR 47539 on August 25, 2021, page
47539.
Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 214,794 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 10 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Twelve (12) Annually per Respondent.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 107,397.
By direction of the Secretary.

VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of Enterprise and Integration, Data
Governance Analytics, Department of Veterans Affairs.
