includes the actual data collection instrument.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Authority: 38 U.S.C. 108.
    Title: Statement of Disappearance (VA Form 21P-1775).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0036.
    Type of Review: Extension currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The major use of the form is used to gather the necessary 
information to determine if a decision of presumptive death can be made 
for benefit payment purposes. 38 U.S.C. 108 requires a formal 
``presumption of death'' when a veteran has been missing for seven 
years. It would be impossible to administer the survivor benefits 
program without this collection of information. This is an extension 
only, no substantive changes.
    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 87 on May 5, 2022, page 26804.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 28 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 2.75 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Once.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 10.

    By direction of the Secretary.
Maribel Aponte,
VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of Enterprise and Integration, Data 
Governance Analytics, Department of Veterans Affairs.
