VA Adopts CISA’s Software Attestation Form

On Friday, the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had approved a request for common form (RCF) use from the Veterans Administration for “Secure Software Self-Attestation Common Form”. This CISA sponsored form was approved last week. Agencies wanting to use the form now must submit a request to OIRA (pg 90) to use that form, providing a one-time burden estimate. The VA is one of the first agencies to complete an RCF for this form.

The VA’s burden estimate (based upon CISA’s estimates of time per response):

Burden Estimate
Annual Responses	3,975
Burden (hrs)	9,632

NOTE: I do not plan on noting each approved RCF for this form.
