SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Monthly Certification of On-The-Job and Apprenticeship
Training, VA Form 22-6553d-1; 22-6553d.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0178, <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: With the use of VA Forms 22-6553d-1; 22-6553d, benefits
are authorized monthly based on the number of hours worked in a
training capacity by the trainee as verified by the training
establishment. Unscheduled terminations result in the termination of
benefits. If hours are reduced to less than a full-time work schedule,
a reduction of benefits will occur. Public Law 115-89 ``Veterans
Apprenticeship and Labor Opportunity Reform Act'' (VALOR Act) was
signed into law on November 21, 2017. Section 3 of this law amended 38
U.S.C. 3680(c) to eliminate the trainee's certification requirement. As
a result, this form is only completed, signed, and certified by the
training establishment to report the trainee's number of hours worked
and/or to report the trainee's date of termination. The form no longer
requires the signature of the trainee. The form is then sent to the
Regional Processing Office (RPO) for processing.
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 80307-80308, October 2, 2024.
Affected Public: Training Establishments.
Estimated Annual Burden: 39,340 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 10 minutes.
Frequency of Response: 12 Annually per Respondent.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 19,670.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
