There are no program changes. Adjustments reflect an increase in the number of respondents/appeal forms filed with the VA annually. Also, the number of hearings held increased, in part, due to the increased use of video-conference hearings. Calculations were adjusted to take into account respondent burden for additional Services included under supporting statement no. 12. Additionally, the expiration date has been added to the form.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).

(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
