With respect to the following collection of information, VBA

is necessary for the proper performance of VBA's functions, including
whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy
of VBA's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of

find the historical versions of this Information Collection).
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 28-1905c is used to gather the necessary
information to determine any changes in enrollment certification, and
document monthly progression and attendance as outlined in the
claimant's vocational rehabilitation plan. This information is
essential to track the type and hours of training, as well as the
rating of the claimant's performance toward the completion of his or
her training program under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 31 and 38 U.S.C. Chapter
35. Without the information gathered on this form, benefits could be
delayed under 38 U.S.C. 501(a). The estimated burden completion time
for this form remains unchanged. However, the burden time listed under
the cost to the government section has been corrected from 20 minutes
to 15 minutes, to accurately reflect that payments are issued in 15-
minute intervals.
Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 264 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 20 minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 791 per year.
(Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
