collection.
Abstract: This Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) submission seeks
reinstatement with changes of Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval No. 2900–0741 as follows: Due
to the increased number of respondents,
the total annual burden hours increased
by 400, from 610 to 1,010. However, the
average burden time per response has
not changed. The VA Form 0896A,
Report of Subcontracts to Small and
Veteran-owned Business is utilized to
ensure that subcontract information
reported by prime contractors and
utilized for credit against subcontracting
goals is accurate and includes ServiceDisabled Veteran-Owned Small

Small Business (VOSB) that are verified
for eligibility in the Vender Information
Pages database maintained by VA
OSDBU. This process involves the use
of electronic submissions of information
via email. Contractors will submit
information on VA Form 0896A. In the
event that a contractor does not have the
capability to submit the form as an
email attachment, it can also be
provided as a hardcopy. VA OSDBU
personnel will confirm the information
reported on the form by the prime

that the SDVOSB and VOSB firms
subcontracted by the prime contractors

OSDBU will utilize the information
reported by the prime contractors, the
FSRS, and any subcontractors in order
to compile annual reports to reflect the
level of accuracy in the reporting being
accomplished by the prime contractors.
This will allow the VA to comply with
the ‘‘review mechanism’’ requirement of
Public Law 109–461. The Federal
Register Notice with a 60-day comment
