Short Statement:
VA is responding to the emerging needs of Veterans and their family members to plan for burial in a VA national cemetery. We have moved from a mere planning tool to providing determinations of eligibility in advance of a time of need. This change supports the Secretary’s priority focusing on VA Business Systems Transformation by deploying one of the largest information technology (IT) systems innovations in Federal Government. VA revised the justification for VA Form 40-10007 to reflect an update of the annual number of responses, now estimated to be 47,400 respondents.
