Approved

response to previous terms of clearance which required VA to
demonstrate compliance with the GPEA. VA has indicated that item 3,
detailing electronic submission of collections in the justification
was submitted incorrectly and forms associated with the collection
continue to be paper based as inividual information must be
included when forms are sent to respondents.
