Appellate review of the denial of VA
benefits may only be initiated by filing a Notice of Disagreement
with the Board. 38 U.S.C. 7105(a). The VA Form 9, "Appeal to Board
of Veterans' Appeals," is required to complete a legacy appeal to
the Board. The completed form becomes the "substantive appeal" (or
"formal appeal"), which is required by 38 U.S.C. 7105(a) and (d)(3)
in order to complete an appeal to the Board. Additionally, the
proposed information collections allow for withdrawal of services
by a representative, requests for changes in hearing dates and
methods under 38 U.S.C.7107, and motions for reconsideration
pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 7103(a).

Because the Board is seeking to
add a checkbox and remove a checkbox, it is estimated that a
respondent’s burden would be unchanged by the requested revisions.
The estimates are consistent with those provided in the previously
approved collection, because the requested changes to the VA Form
10182 do not add any additional burden to the processing of the
form. Rather, the checkbox will eliminate the need to delay issuing
decisions in appeals that are otherwise ready for adjudication and
send appellants letters of clarification, thereby decreasing the
overall administrative burden caused by Williams, supra. The
estimated burden hours and estimated number of respondents are
those who will use the VA Form 10182. The previously approved
collection included estimates for the use of additional forms,
including the VA Form 9, which are not being revised at this
time.
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);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
