Abstract:
As a result of VAAR Final Rule RIN 2900-AQ20, posted to the Federal Register (84FR46448) on September 4, 2019, this is a request from VA to OMB for approval of a new Information Collection (IC). When VAAR Proposed Rule RIN 2900-AQ20, posted to the Federal Register on September 7, 2018 (citation 83 FR 45374,) VA submitted this request to OMB to request a tentative OMB Control Number. On March 1, 2019, OMB assigned 2900-0863 as a tentative OMB Control Number. New VAAR clause 852.237–73 requires contractors to perform background checks on behalf of DVA to assure the safety of children under the age of 18 that are recipients of services under a DVA program.

Short Statement:
This is a new collection. Based on the most recent data from VA’s eCMS system, the number of respondents/contracts has been revised from 500 in the proposed rule to 150 and the number of responses (number of checks per contract) has been revised from 20 in the proposed rule to 10. Specifically, in the proposed rule, the estimated number of respondents annually were based on health service contracts awarded versus in this final rule, the estimated number of respondents annually were limited to NAICS associated with child care services. The assumption used in the proposed rule was on an average 20 individual on each health service contracts would deal with children under the age of 18 versus in this finale rule, an average of 10 individual per contract would be sufficient for an awarded child care services contract.
