VPS is also known as Program Delivery Control (PDC).

A PDC descriptor is defined in the DVB spec under "6.2.28 PDC
descriptor"

PDC_descriptor(){
descriptor_tag 8 uimsbf
descriptor_length 8 uimsbf
reserved_future_use 4 bslbf
programme_identification_label 20 bslbf
} 

If used, it would be broadcast in the EIT with an ID of 0x69, but like
much of the spec it will probably remain unused....  unless somebody
knows differently.
