    Title: Application for United States Flag for Burial Purposes, (VA 
Form 27-2008).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0013.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: VA Form 27-2008 is primarily used for VA compensation and 
pension programs that require claimants to file an application for 
benefits subsequent to the death of the Veteran to determine 
eligibility for the benefit. Collection of this information is 
conducted at the time the next-of-kin or friend of a deceased Veteran 
requests a burial flag. Without the information collected by VA Form 
27-2008, entitlement to the benefit could not be determined.
    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 89 FR 5310 on January 25, 2024.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 535,500.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 15 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: One time per family of deceased Veteran.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 753,000.

    By direction of the Secretary.
