Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: Consistent with EO 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 3, 2017) VA has estimated the cost savings under proposed rule to be: $1,999,992. Therefore, this rule expected to be an EO 13771 deregulatory action. This cost savings is consistent with the supporting documentation in ROCIS. However, the cost information is now included in the "ICR Data" section in ROCIS. This non-substantive change is to update the cost information to reflect the $1,999,992. Once the ICR package is discontinued OIRA will have this cost estimate in the system for tracking.
