SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: PayVA (Pay Now Enter Info Page).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0663 <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: PayVA (Pay Now Enter Info Page--pay.va.gov) is used by 
the VA Debt Management Center (DMC) to verify debts that are active at 
DMC before the indebted person makes a payment. PayVA collects basic 
debt information from the respondent and redirects them to <a href="http://pay.gov">pay.gov</a> (a 
Department of Treasury website) for online payments. PayVA then 
collects responses from <a href="http://pay.gov">pay.gov</a> to verify payment. The change in burden 
was the result of more payments being made electronically through the 
pay.va platform and a higher number of overall overpayment debts owed 
to the VA.
    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 91 FR 48228, July 30, 2026.
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 42,878 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 10 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 257,266.

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

Alternate, VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of Information and
