Notice
Summary
The Veterans Health Administration is asking the Office of Management and Budget to review their yearly paperwork for nonprofit research groups. This includes reports, cleanup plans, and surveys to keep things running smoothly. If you’re part of these nonprofits, get ready for some updated forms and deadlines, but no big cost changes are expected.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
NPCs Face Updated Annual Paperwork
The Veterans Health Administration will submit its annual information collection for Nonprofit Research and Education Corporations (NPCs) to the Office of Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act. If you run or work for one of these nonprofits, expect updated forms and deadlines for annual reports, remediation plans, and assessment questionnaires, though the VA says no big cost changes are expected.
VA Will Publish Burden Estimates and Forms
The PRA submission will describe the nature of the information collection and the expected cost and burden and will include the actual data collection instrument. That means nonprofits will be able to see VA's burden estimates and the exact questionnaires that will be sent to OMB for review.
