Abstract: Since 1954, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has overseen the National Veterans Day Observance at Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) to honor the men and women who have served and continue to serve in the U.S. Uniformed Services during war and peacetime. Hundreds of military Veterans from communities throughout America and leaders from across the federal government, including the President of the United States or his designee, participate in the National Veterans Day Observance at ANC each year. In addition, tens of thousands of others participate in VA-approved regional Veterans Day events.
The National Veterans Outreach Office is the VA team that plans and executes the National Veterans Day Observance. VA Forms 0918d, 0918e, 0918f, and 0918g are the instruments of collection for this activity. The information collected is used to collaborate with regional partners and select VA-approved Veterans Day observances across the country; evaluate Veteran-serving organizations for potential membership onto the Veterans Day National Committee; collect annual dues from Veterans Day National Committee members, per the committee's bylaws; and determine the number of custom Veterans Day lapel pins, National Observance invitations and bench seat tickets are required by each Veterans Day National Committee member organization. The collection requires the public to provide only the information necessary to support the planning efforts.
Affected Public: State and local governments; Veteran-serving non-profit organizations.
Estimated Annual Burden: 28 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 11 minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 158.
By direction of the Secretary.
