SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: NCA PreNeed Burial Planning.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0784.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: This information (VA Form 40-10007) is needed 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. 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 increased due to the annual responses increasing since the
previous approval.
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: 90 FR 57285, December 10, 2025.
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.
Lanea Haynes,
Acting, VA PRA Clearance Officer, (Alt) Office of Information
