                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA of 1995, Federal agencies must
                obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each

                comment is being made pursuant to Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA.
                 With respect to the following collection of information, VBA
                invites comments on: (1) whether the proposed collection of information
                is necessary for the proper performance of VBA's functions, including
                whether the information will have practical utility;
                [[Page 14154]]
                (2) the accuracy of VBA's estimate of the burden of the proposed
                collection of information; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
                and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to
                minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
                including through the use of automated collection techniques or the use
                of other forms of information technology.
                 Authority: Title 38 U.S.C. 1506, 1521, 1541, and 1542.
                 Title: Supplemental Income Questionnaire (For Philippine Claims
                Only).
                 OMB Control Number: 2900-0668.
                 Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
                 Abstract: VA Form 21P-0784 is primarily used to gather income
                information that is necessary to determine eligibility for Pension
                benefits. Entitlement to pension cannot be determined without complete
                information about a claimant's family income and net worth. Claimants
                residing in the Philippines have different types of income than
                claimants residing in the United States, and this form better captures
                those types of income than other VA Pension forms.
                 Affected Public: Individuals and households.
                 Estimated Annual Burden: 30 hours.
                 Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 15 minutes.
                 Frequency of Response: One time.
                 Estimated Number of Respondents: 120.
                 By direction of the Secretary.
