Title: Application for Pre-Need Determination of Eligibility for
Burial, VA Form 40-10007.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0784.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: This information (VA Form 40-10007) is used to collect
information from Veterans and service members who wish to determine
their eligibility for burial in a VA national cemetery prior to their
time of need for planning purposes. The data will be used for this
purpose. 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 burden increased since the
previous approval due to an increase in the number of respondents and
responses. The number of respondents increased to 50,000 from the
previous approval of 47,400 in 2023. Due to more respondents and an
increase in the hourly wage rate, the cost to respondents increased
from $442,558 to $524,667 resulting in an increase of $82,109 in
respondent cost. The cost to the Federal Government
[[Page 57286]]
increased due to the annual responses increasing since the previous
approval.
Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 16,667 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 20 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One-time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 50,000.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
