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.

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. Frequency of Response: One-time. Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,726. Dated: October 3, 2008. By direction of the Secretary.
