Information Collection Needed in VA's Flight-Training Programs

We are amending our educational assistance and educational benefit regulations concerning flight-training courses for which the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) pays eligible students. In this regard, we are requiring that flight schools offering such flight- training courses maintain records regarding students to whom VA makes payments. This rule is intended to provide information to VA for determining compliance with requirements for VA payments to students for pursuing flight-training courses. Also, when VA, rather than a separate State entity, is the approving agency, this rule is intended to provide information to VA for determining whether to approve a flight-training course.
