Title: Clean Energy Storytelling
Program.
OMB Control Number: 1505–NEW.
Type of Review: Request for a new

Description: Treasury’s Inflation
Reduction Act Program Office proposes
to establish a Clean Energy Storytelling
Program that would engage the public
and enable more effective
communication of their Inflation
Reduction Act (IRA) incentive and
program-related stories.
The goal would be to increase
awareness of the IRA’s tax incentives
and other impacts so that more
Americans, companies, and non-profits
are aware of and understand the benefits
now available to them, thereby
promoting uptake, and the IRA’s
broader purpose. Located on the
Treasury.gov/IRA website, the Clean
Energy Storytelling Program would
feature a participation consent form and
a series of questions. These forms are
designed to offer a voluntary way for
members of the public to share
information about their experience with
claiming IRA-related clean energy
incentives or using IRS modernization

of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA).
Although the burden numbers have not
changed since the last PRA clearance,
the collection is being revised to include
a portal for submission of the
information in the 10–10d program
application form, which is expected to
be completed by the end of calendar
year 2024. This portal will allow
applicants to complete and submit VA
Form 10–10d electronically rather than
by submission of a hard copy form,
which has been the standard application
process prior to technological
advancement allowing electronic
submission and processing. This portal
represents a separate avenue for
applicants to submit VA Form 10–10d;
however, it does not affect the burden
of collection for applicants or VA.
VA Form 10–10d: Application for
CHAMPVA Benefits
VA Form 10–7959a: CHAMPVA Claim

VA Form 10–7959c: CHAMPVA Other
Health Insurance (OHI) Certification
VA Form 10–7959d: CHAMPVA
Potential Liability Claim
VA Form 10–7959e: VA Claim for
Miscellaneous Expenses
Review and Appeal Process
Clinical Review
a. VA Form 10–10d, Application for
CHAMPVA Benefits, is used to
determine eligibility of persons
applying for healthcare benefits under
the CHAMPVA program in accordance
with 38 U.S.C. 501 and 1781.
b. VA Form 10–7959a, CHAMPVA
Claim Form, is used to adjudicate
claims for CHAMPVA benefits in
accordance with 38 U.S.C. 501 and
1781, and 10 U.S.C. 1079 and 1086. This
information is required for accurate
adjudication and processing of
beneficiary submitted claims. The claim
form is also instrumental in the
detection and prosecution of fraud. In
addition, the claim form is the only
mechanism to obtain, on an interim
basis, other health insurance (OHI)
information.
c. VA Form 10–7959c, CHAMPVA
Other Health Insurance (OHI)
Certification, is used to systematically
obtain OHI information and to correctly
coordinate benefits among all liable
parties. Except for Medicaid and health
insurance policies that are purchased
exclusively for the purpose of
supplementing CHAMPVA benefits,
CHAMPVA is always the secondary
payer of healthcare benefits (38 U.S.C.
501 and 1781, and 10 U.S.C. 1086).
d. VA Form 10–7959d, CHAMPVA
Potential Liability Claim, provides basic
information from which potential third

PO 00000

Frm 00103

Fmt 4703

party liability can be assessed. The
Federal Medical Care Recovery Act (42
U.S.C. 2651–2653) mandates recovery of
costs associated with healthcare services
related to an injury/illness caused by a
third party. Additional authority
includes 38 U.S.C. 501; 38 CFR 1.900 et
seq.; 10 U.S.C. 1079 and 1086; 42 U.S.C.
2651–2653; and Executive Order 9397.
e. VA Form 10–7959e, VA Claim for
Miscellaneous Expenses, is used to
adjudicate claims for certain children of
Korea, Vietnam, and Thailand veterans
authorized under 38 U.S.C., chapter 18,
as amended by section 401, Public Law
106–419 and section 102, Public Law
108–183. VA’s medical regulations 38
CFR part 17 (17.900 through 17.905)
establish regulations regarding
provision of health care for certain
children of Korea, Vietnam, and
Thailand veterans and women Vietnam
veterans’ children born with spina
bifida and certain other covered birth
defects. These regulations also specify
the information to be included in
requests for preauthorization and claims
from approved health care providers.
f. Review and Appeal Process pertains
to the approval of health care, or
approval for payment relating to the
provision of health care, under the
Veteran Family Member Programs. The
provisions of the Veterans Appeals
Improvement and Modernization Act of
2017 (AMA, Pub. L. 115–55), chapter 51
of 38 U.S.C., or legacy claims under 38
CFR 17.277 and 38 CFR 17.904 establish
a review process regarding
disagreements by an eligible beneficiary
of a Veteran Family Member Program,
provider, veteran, or other
representative of the veteran or
beneficiary, with a determination
concerning provision of health care or a
health care provider’s disagreement
with a determination regarding
payment. The person or entity
requesting reconsideration of such
determination is required to submit
such a request in writing (including
electronic where available). If such
person or entity remains dissatisfied
with the determination, the person or
entity is permitted to submit a written
request for additional review (VHA
Notice 2024–07).
g. Clinical Review pertains to the
requirement of VHA to preauthorize
certain medical services under 38 CFR
17.273 and 38 CFR 17.902. Clinical
review determines if services are
medically necessary and appropriate to
allow under the Veteran Family Member
Programs. The person requesting the
services must submit medical
documentation or applicable supporting
material for review.
