Agency Information Collection
Activity: The Veterans’ Outcome
Assessment (VOA) (Veteran Survey
Interview)
Veterans Health
Administration, Department of Veterans
Affairs.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Veterans Health
Administration, Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA), is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the
proposed collection of certain
information by the agency. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of
1995, Federal agencies are required to
publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
revision of a currently approved
collection, and allow 60 days for public
comment in response to the notice.
DATES: Written comments and
recommendations on the proposed
collection of information should be
received on or before August 25, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments
on the collection of information through
Federal Docket Management System
(FDMS) at www.Regulations.gov or to
Cynthia Harvey-Pryor, Office of
Information & Technology (005R1B),
Department of Veterans Affairs, 810
Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, DC
20420 or email to Cynthia.HarveyPryor@va.gov. Please refer to ‘‘OMB
Control No. 2900–0825’’ in any
correspondence. During the comment
period, comments may be viewed online
through FDMS.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Cynthia Harvey-Pryor at (202) 461–
5870.
SUMMARY:
Under the
PRA of 1995, Federal agencies must
obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. This request for comment is
being made pursuant to Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA.
With respect to the following

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of VHA’s
functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of VHA’s estimate of
the burden of the proposed collection of
information; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
the use of other forms of information

Authority: Public Law 112–239 Sec. 726
Title:
a. Veterans Outcome Assessment—
Baseline
b. Veterans Outcome Assessment—
Follow Up
OMB Control Number: 2900–0825.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: The mental health outcomes
information obtained through this new
collection will be used by VA
leadership, including those in the
Offices of Mental Health Operations and
Mental Health Services, Network
offices, and VA Medical Centers. Such
information on Veteran mental health
outcomes is crucial to guide resource
allocation and programmatic decisions
for mental health programs and to
intervene effectively to prevent
individual adverse outcomes such as
suicide, overdose deaths, and
morbidities associated with mental
illness and to support recovery-oriented
treatment designed to improve
functioning and reduce symptoms. The
data will allow VA policy makers to
reliably track national performance on a
quarterly basis and to track VISN
performance on a yearly basis. These
data will reveal trends in outcomes over
time and will help in pinpointing
programs that are doing well in terms of
patient outcomes, so that other
programs can emulate their practices, as
well as identifying those programs that
are performing poorly so that steps can
be taken to improve them. Results of the
survey will be reported to Congress and
will influence decisions on funding.
The VOA will thus provide Veterans
who are experiencing mental health
problems with a direct voice in program
evaluation and improvement. Summary
data on performance also will be
available on a public Web site, as
mandated by the NDAA, to provide
Veterans and their families with
additional information for purposes of
managing their mental health treatment
and U.S. citizens with information
regarding VA’s mental health programs
