    The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE), is seeking public comments on its proposed information collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This collection, identified as the Vetbiz Vendor Information Pages Verification Program, aims to gather information to help federal agencies identify small businesses owned by veterans and service-disabled veterans. The main purpose is to ensure these businesses have the chance to participate in federal contracts. The VA estimates that the process will take around 30 minutes per response, with a total expected burden of 10,000 hours annually.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Veterans Affairs wants to know if certain small businesses are really owned by veterans, so they can have a fair chance to get jobs with the government. They're asking people to share their thoughts on how they plan to gather this information, but it might be a bit tricky to understand exactly what they're doing and how it will help.
