Abstract: The authorizing statute for this data collection falls under 31 USC 3701 and Public Law 104-134, Section 31001, Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996. The mission of the Nationwide Vendor File Division of the Department of Veterans Affairs – Financial Services Center (VA-FSC) is to add, modify, or delete vendor records in the Financial Management Services (FMS) vendor file. The VA-FSC FMS vendor file controls aspects of when, where, and how vendors are paid. There are currently more than 2.4 million active vendor records in FMS. The VA-FSC Vendor File Request Form, VA Form 10091, was previously created to streamline the data required to establish a vendor record from multiple sources into a single form. The VA now seeks a routine three-year extension of the previous OMB PRA clearance for this form. VA Form 10091 will be used throughout the VA to gather essential payment data from vendors (commercial, individuals, Veterans, employees, etc.) to establish or update vendor records in order to process electronic payments through the ACH network to the vendor's financial institution.
