{"abstract":"The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain information by the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed revision of a currently approved collection, and allow 60 days for public comment in response to the notice. VA Form 21-0538 is used to request certification of the status of dependents for whom additional compensation is being paid to veterans. Without this information, continued entitlement to the benefits for dependents could not be determined.","action":"Notice.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS","name":"Veterans Affairs Department","id":520,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/veterans-affairs-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/520","parent_id":null,"slug":"veterans-affairs-department"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2017/01/23/2017-01398.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"82 FR 7917","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2017-03-24","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Written comments and recommendations on the proposed collection of information should be received on or before March 24, 2017.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["OMB Control No. 2900-0500"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Town Hall Meeting Transcript dtd.
