SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Correction
FR Doc. 2022-21017, published on Wednesday, September 28, 2022, at
87 FR 187, make the following corrections. On page 58945, under the
heading ``Abstract,'' please correct and replace the language with,
``VA Form 21-526EZ is used to collect the information needed to process
a claim for disability compensation and related compensation benefits.
Though, this form was initially created to be used to submit fully
developed claims (FDC), it has evolved into a standard claim form to be
used for any benefit associated with disability compensation; to
include new or initial claims and claims for increase.
The respondent burden for VA Form 21-526EZ has increased due to:
the number of receivables averaged over the past year, general program
changes--such as regulatory changes, and the continuing improvement of
VA's electronic claims processing systems.
VA Form 21-526EZ has been updated, to include: new instructions on
presumptive service connection; the GENDER question has been removed; a
new Section IV: Exposure Information, including new questions that
identify toxic exposures the claimant may have been exposed to during
service; and an `Addendum' has been added to provide additional space
for disabilities if the claimant has more than the space provided in
Section V: Claim Information.
By direction of the Secretary.
Maribel Aponte,
VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of Enterprise and Integration/Data
Governance Analytics, Department of Veterans Affairs.
