VA Seeks Public Comment on Info Collection: Veterans Mortgage Life Insurance Change of Address Statement

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 -- The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Benefits Administration proposed a 30-day public comment period starting on Oct. 29, 2021, on an information collection entitled "Veterans Mortgage Life Insurance Change of Address Statement."

A notice was published in the Federal Register by Maribel Aponte, VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of Enterprise and Integration, Data Governance Analytics, Department of Veterans Affairs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501-21.

Title: Veterans Mortgage Life Insurance Change of Address Statement (VA Form 29-0563).

OMB Control Number: 2900-0503.

Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.

Abstract: The Veterans Mortgage Life Insurance Change of Address Statement solicits information needed to inquire about a veteran's continued ownership of the property issued under Veterans Mortgage Life Insurance when an address change for the veteran is received. The information obtained is used in determining whether continued Veterans Mortgage Life Insurance coverage is applicable since the law granting this insurance provides that coverage terminates if the veteran no longer owns the property. The information requested is required by law, 38 U.S.C. 2106. This form expired due to high volume of work and staffing changes.

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 86 FR 160 on August 23, 2021, page 47203.

Affected Public: Individuals and Households.

Estimated Annual Burden: 8 hours.

Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 5 minutes.

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.

By direction of the Secretary.

Maribel Aponte,

VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of Enterprise and Integration, Data Governance Analytics, Department of Veterans Affairs.
