comment is being made pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA.
With respect to the following collection of information, VBA
invites comments on: (1) whether the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance of VBA's functions, including
whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy
of VBA's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or the use of other forms of
information technology.

Abstract: VA Form 28-0791, Pre and Post Independent Living
Assessment (IL) is used by the Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor
(VRC) during the initial and post IL evaluations. During this face-to-
face meeting, the VRC identifies impairments and or barriers the
Veteran may be experiencing with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). The
VRC then uses this information to identify the needs for services. The
VRC compares the information obtained from the preliminary and post
plan assessments to determine if there are improvements in the
Veteran's activities of daily living. Without the information gathered
on this form, VR&E is not able to identify IL needs and provide needed
services. There are no other invitations or other communications sent
to the respondent associated with the information collection. Failure
to collect this information would have a detrimental impact upon the
determination of appropriate rehabilitation goals for Veterans
participating in the IL program. This would negatively impact the
Veteran's participation in his or her rehabilitation program.
Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 906 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 30 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Two times.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 906 per year.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
