As a result of VAAR proposed rule RIN 2900-AP81, this is to request to revise the title of the clause and to reduce the information collection burden currently imposed on respondents as a result of revising the clause and removing the requirement to develop Government-specified service manuals.
Reduce the information collection burden currently imposed on respondents as a result of revising the clause and removing the requirement to develop Government-specified service manuals. The VA has eliminated an unnecessary burden on the public by making use of commercial operation and maintenance manuals just like the general public and established commercial practices, thereby reducing by half the estimated annual hourly burden which is now estimated at 311 hours, a reduction of 310 annual hours and an annual cost savings of $7,722 to respondents.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
