SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Decision Review Request: Board Appeal (Notice of Disagreement) and Appeal to the Board of Veterans' Appeals, VA Form 10182 and VA Form 9.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0674 https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch .
[top] Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Appellate review of the denial of VA benefits may only be initiated by the filing of a Notice of Disagreement with the Board. 38 U.S.C. 7105(a). A VA Form 10182 .
Decision Review Request: Board Appeal (Notice of Disagreement) is required to initiate Board review of an appeal in the modernized review system as implemented by the Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act of 2017 (AMA). The VA Form 9 Appeal to the Board of Veterans' Appeals may be used to complete a legacy appeal to the Board. The completed form becomes the "substantive appeal" (or "formal appeal"), which is required by the pre-AMA version of 38 U.S.C. 7105(a) and (d)(3) to complete an appeal to the Board. Additionally, the proposed information collections allow for withdrawal of services by a representative, requests for changes in hearing dates and methods under 38 U.S.C. 7107, and motions for reconsideration pursuant to 38 CFR 7103(a).
The Board is requesting to revise the currently approved OMB Control No. 2900-0674 as there has been a decrease in the estimated number of respondents and annual burden. There has been a decrease in the use of the VA Form 9 Appeal to the Board of Veterans' Appeals, as the VA Form 10182 Decision Review Request: Board Appeal (Notice of Disagreement) is required to initiate Board review of decisions issued on or after February 19, 2019. Consequently, the majority of incoming appeals at the Board are governed by the AMA; therefore, the estimated number of respondents who utilize the VA Form 10182 Decision Review Request: Board Appeal (Notice of Disagreement) has been adjusted accordingly.
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 89 FR 101691, December 16, 2024.
Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 60,305 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 30 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 119,800.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
