SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Application for Approval of a Licensing or Certification
Test and Organization or Entity. No Form.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0697, <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch</a>.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: SAAs and VA will use the information to decide whether
the licensing and certification tests, and the organizations offering
them, should be approved for use under the education programs VA
administers. VA did not develop an official form for this information
collection since section
[[Page 68032]]
3689 of title 38, United States Code permitted VA to delegate the
approval functions to the State Approving Agencies; and from the
inception of this information collection, VA has given the State
Approving Agencies the authority to approve licensing and certification
tests and organizations. Consequently, the State Approving Agencies
have developed their own forms to gather information they will need per
their respective state laws to decide whether the licensing and
certification tests and the organizations offering them should be
approved. In the case of an organization seeking approval directly from
VA, any information VA receives concerning the request for approval is
forwarded directly to the appropriate State Approving Agency. Since
SAAs have approval authority, education institutions and licensing and
certification organizations supply information to the SAAs for approval
in a manner specified by the SAA.
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 51391, June 17, 2024.
Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 3,453 hours.
Estimated Average Burden Time per Respondent: 3 hours or 180
minutes.
Frequency of Response: Once Occasionally.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,151.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
