60-Day FRN

Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 141 / Friday, July 25, 2025 / Notices
There is a commensurate decrease in the
burden hours for this collection due to
the discontinuance and removal of VA
Form 10–307 and the anticipated
decrease in the number of 10–306 forms
that will be received annually by VA.
VA received two public comments on
the 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register. The comments did not
directly address the information
collected in VA Form 10–306 for
inquiries related to past PCAFC
decisions. VA provided responses to
these comments but will not make any
changes to the information collection as
a result of the comments.
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
22163, May 23, 2025.

(a), (b), and (c) to determine the
applicant’s eligibility for Loan Guaranty
benefits, compute the amount of
entitlement, and document the
certificate with the amount and type of
guaranty used and the amount, if any,
remaining. In addition, adjustments
were made to the burden hours from the
previous submission, due to a decrease
in the applications and the removal of
the electronic COE requests that are
automatically issued that do not require
the completion or collection of VA Form
26–1880. The reduction in applications
is attributed to the amount of electronic
service documentation available and
market conditions that has led to a small
decrease in benefit usage.

Estimated Average Burden per

Title: Post Separation Transition
Assistance Program (TAP) Assessment
Survey.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0864.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: The PSTAP Assessment is
administered by VA to assess how the
TAP training for Transitioning Service
members (TSMs) prepares Veterans for
civilian life and its effects on long-term
Veteran outcomes. This information
collection request (ICR) is conducted
once per year and is designed as two
separate collections which include a
Cross-Sectional Survey and a
Longitudinal Survey. The survey
population for the Cross-Sectional
Survey includes all Veterans who meet
the criteria at the time of fielding of
having separated from the military at six
months, one year, and three years prior
to the date that surveys. Service
members who participated in the CrossSectional Survey and voluntarily agreed
to participate in the Longitudinal
Survey make up the Longitudinal
Survey population. VA will use email
and mail methods to administer the
survey, reducing the burden on
respondents. The surveys are necessary
to gauge the long-term effectiveness of

the Transition Assistance Program
(TAP) by: (1) examining the relationship
between attendance in TAP courses and
the use of VA Benefits; (2) analyzing the
effect of participation in TAP courses on
the long-term outcomes of Veterans in
the broad life domains of employment,
education, health and social
relationships, financial, social
connectivity and overall satisfaction and
well-being, and; (3) identifying areas of
improvement for TAP and the broader
transition process to guide training and/
or operational activities aimed at
enhancing the quality of service
provided to transitioning service
members, Veterans, their families and
caregivers.
The National Defense Authorization
Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019
mandated several changes to TAP. In
addition, Section 4305 of the Veterans
Health Care and Benefits Improvement
Act of 2020 (hereafter referred to as
Public Law 116–315) calls for a one-year
independent assessment of TAP.
Section 4306 of Public Law 116–315
calls for a five-year longitudinal study
on three cohorts of Veterans to assess
changes to TAP under the Fiscal Year
2019 NDAA and changes based on the
independent assessment under Section
4305 and provide annual progress
reports and a final report. The Section
4306 Study will analyze the outcomes
between Veterans who attended TAP
before and after changes to the program.
Both the PSTAP Assessment and
Section 4306 Study are included in this
current ICR because some Veterans in
the PSTAP Study were also selected for
the Section 4306 Study cohorts. A single
survey instrument collects the
information needed for both studies, so
Veterans are not contacted twice. This
reduces burden while ensuring both
studies collect the data required to meet
Congressional and Government
requirements.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Estimated Annual Burden: 9,582
hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 18.5 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Annual.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
31,075.
