Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 29, 2021 / Proposed Rules
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1

requirements prescribed in proposed 13.230.
Description of likely respondents:
Certain fiduciaries appointed by VA
who manage VA benefit funds in excess of $25,000. As stated, the proposed rule would exempt a VA-appointed fiduciary who is also serving as a court-appointed fiduciary from posting multiple bonds and would also exempt a VA-appointed fiduciary that is also a State agency with existing, State-mandated liability insurance or a blanket bond from having to obtain an additional bond payable to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. This change would reduce the number of respondents.
Estimated number of respondents per year: 9,634 annually.
Estimated frequency of responses per year: Once per year.
Estimated number of responses per year: 9,634 annually.
Estimated average burden per response: The estimated average burden per response for OMB-approved Control Number 29000804 has not changed and remains at 1 minute.
Estimated total annual reporting and recordkeeping burden: 161 hours.
Estimated total annual respondent burden cost: $4,358.
VA estimates that the proposed rule would reduce the number of respondents in 2021 by 366 from 10,000 to 9,634; however, it would increase the current annual respondent burden costs from $4,008 to $4,358, resulting in an estimated information collection burden costs increase of $350
161 burden hours $27.07 per hour.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics BLS
gathers information on full-time wage and salary workers. According to the latest available BLS data, the mean hourly wage is $27.07 based on the BLS
wage code000000 All Occupations. This information was taken from the following website:

Regulatory Flexibility Act The Secretary certifies that this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities as they are defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601612. This regulation has the potential to impact all 2,350 small entities within the North American Industry Classification System Code 524126 casualty and bonding companies. There is a projected loss of revenue of $66,989 per firm which yields a 0.16% revenue loss to each entity. Based on this analysis, we conclude that this regulation will not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities. Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
605b, the initial and final regulatory flexibility analysis requirements of 5
U.S.C. 603 and 604 do not apply.
Unfunded Mandates The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 requires, at 2 U.S.C. 1532, that agencies prepare an assessment of anticipated costs and benefits before issuing any rule that may result in the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more adjusted annually for inflation in any one year. This proposed rule would have no such effect on State, local, and tribal governments, or on the private sector.
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance program number and title for this proposed rule are as follows:
64.104, Pension for Non-ServiceConnected Disability for Veterans;
64.105, Pension to Veterans Surviving Spouses, and Children; 64.109, Veterans Compensation for Service-Connected Disability; and 64.110, Veterans Dependency and Indemnity Compensation for Service-Connected Death.
List of Subjects in 38 CFR Part 13
