Type of Review: New collection.
Abstract: The Secretary of VA has broad authority under Title 38
United States Code, section 501, to protect Veterans and their family
members from fraud and enforce compliance with federal laws and
regulations. The VA is an active participant in the cross-government
Veteran Scam and Fraud Evasion (VSAFE) campaign and Task Force, and
this information collection supports the goals for the reporting and
resolution of potential fraud issues.
The purpose of this information collection is to receive and
process complaints related to fraud, waste and abuse in VA health care
programs. An individual can file a complaint with the VA Office of
Integrity and Compliance (OIC) using the Department's regular mail
(letter), email, hotline telephone line, fax or, in the future, by
filing a web-based complaint. The new VA Form 10-390 can be used by
individuals to capture information for a fraud, waste or abuse
complaint. The form may be submitted anonymously, and there is no
requirement to complete all the fields. All complaints are entered into
the Compliance Inquiry Reporting & Tracking System (CIRTS), which is
used by VA OIC Staff to record and track complaints as they are
processed by VA.
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 51948, June 20, 2024.
Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 283 hours.
