SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or Privacy Act (PA) 
Request (VA Form 20-10206).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0877.
    <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: VA Form 20-10206 is used by VA to gather the necessary 
information to fulfill claimants' requests to access Federal agency 
records and requests for access to records based on name or another 
personal identifier. Without this information, VA would not be able to 
efficiently process FOIA and PA requests in a standardized manner. As 
such, requests from claimants and stakeholders vary in nature and in 
scope.
    This control number used to be associated with three information 
collections. This control number now only includes this information 
collection, and the burden estimate has increased due to the estimated 
number of receivables averaged over the past year.
    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 insert citation date: 91 FR 37498, June 
23, 2026.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 14,378 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 5 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: One time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 172,534 per year.

(Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
