The Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) amends its Veterans Legacy Grants Program (VLGP)
regulations to align them with regulatory updates to the uniform
administrative requirements and other requirements for Federal
awards and makes additional revisions to improve the process for
administration of the grant program. This rulemaking implements
housekeeping amendments to key terms, legal citations, and
definitions and extends timelines for grant recipient reporting
requirements. Form SF-424 is used by non-Federal entities to apply
for grants, and by Federal grants management staff to evaluate
applicants for Federal financial assistance. VA/NCA is requesting
use of this common form. NCA has added the appropriate, estimated
burden hours for the information collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);

(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
