obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each

With respect to the following
collection of information, the Office of
Policy and Planning invites comments
on: (1) Whether the proposed collection

proper performance of VA’s functions,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of

Title: Pilot Study for the National
Survey of Veterans (NSV), Active Duty
Service Members, Activated National
Guard and Reserve Members, Family
Members and Survivors.
OMB Control Number: 2900–NEW
(NSV).
Type of Review: New collection.
Abstract: The pilot will collect
information on awareness,
demographics and provide information
needed to determine the best sampling
scheme and data collection
methodology for the NSV data
collection effort. The pilot will also
assess the response rates and coverage

of the populations of interests for the
sampling approach for the NSV. One of
the VA’s many goals is to monitor and
improve veteran health and well-being.
The scope of the NSV is being expanded
to address the requirements of Public
Law 108–454, section 805, to assess
awareness of VA benefits and services
among four populations: Veterans,
active duty service members, National
Guard and Reserve members activated
under Title 10, and spouses and
survivors of veterans. Because the NSV
collects needed information that is not
available in VA administrative files and
because the infrequent administration of
the NSV, it is important that we
minimize the total survey error
associated with the study design. It is
for these reasons that the VA has
planned to conduct a pilot study to
inform the design of the next NSV.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 371
hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 4.7 minutes.
