    Description: Title 38 United States Code, Section 4322 of USERRA 
authorizes the Secretary of Labor (through the Veterans' Employment and 
Training Service) to investigate claims by individuals who believe 
their USERRA rights have been violated. Section 3 of the VEOA provides 
the Secretary of Labor similar authority to investigate complaints 
brought by preference eligibles. The collection instrument completed by 
claimants contains much of the information needed for the Department to 
determine initial eligibility of the claimant.
    The information on the VETS/USERRA/VP Form 1010 (VETS-1010 Form) is 
used by the Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) to 
determine eligibility and serves as an official notification that the 
claimant requested assistance in obtaining rights under VP or USERRA. 
Detailed items on the form describe the employment relationship with 
the employer involved in the claim. The information collected is 
essential to VETS in meeting its statutory mandate. For additional 
information, see related notice published in the Federal Register on 
March 9, 2010 (75 FR 10821).
