SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Supplemental Information for Change of Program or
Reenrollment After Unsatisfactory Attendance, Conduct or Progress, VA
Form 22-8873.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0358.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Veterans and other eligible persons may change their
program of education under conditions prescribed by Title 38 U.S.C.
3691. A claimant can normally make one change of program without VA
approval. VA approval is required if the claimant makes any additional
change of program. Before VA can approve benefits for a second or
subsequent change of program, VA must first determine that the new
program is suitable to the claimant's aptitudes, interests, and
abilities, or that the cause of any unsatisfactory progress or conduct
has been resolved before entering into a different program. VA Form 22-
8873 is used to gather the necessary information only if the
suitability of the proposed training program cannot be established from
information already available in the claimant's VA education records or
the results of academic or vocational counseling are not available to
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 on October 19, 2012 at pages 64384-64385.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 17,706 hours.
Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 30 minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 35,411.
Dated: January 24, 2012.
By direction of the Secretary.
William F. Russo,
Deputy Director, Office of Regulations Policy and Management, Office of
