-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Veteran's Experience Office, 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 non-substantive 
change request of a currently approved collection, and allow 60 days 
for public comment in response to the notice. This notice solicits 
comments on 11 Information collections for the Veteran's Experience 
Agency Priority Goal, which specifies that four survey questions will 
be incorporated into existing customer experience surveys by Q1 FY2016. 
The information collected will be used by VA departmental leadership to 
track enterprise performance improvements as experienced by our 
Veterans. This notice will serve as notification for any future Non-
substantive Change Information Collection Request adding these four 
customer service questions in the Information Collection Requests.

DATES: Written comments and recommendations on the proposed collection 
of information should be received on or before March 8, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on the collection of information 
through Federal Docket Management System (FDMS) at www.Regulations.gov 
or to Thomas Pasakarnis, Veteran's Experience Office (008VE), 
Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, DC 
20420 or email to [email protected]. Please refer to ``OMB 
Control No. 2900-VE'' in any correspondence. During the comment period, 
comments may be viewed online through the FDMS.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas Pasakarnis at (202) 461-5869 or 
FAX (202) 495-5401.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13; 44 
U.S.C. 3501-21), 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 collection of information, Veteran's 
Experience invites comments on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of VBA's functions, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the 
accuracy of VA'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 technology.
    Type of Review: Non-Substantive Change of currently approved 
collections.
    Abstract: For FY16-17, VA set Veterans Experience as an agency 
priority goal to improve Veterans Experience with VA. Because this is a 
new measure, VA developed one brand and three experience measures to 
support the Veterans Experience Agency Priority Goal (APG). VA will add 
four APG questions to each survey identified below. One question deals 
with VA brand, and three questions deal with Veterans experience.

    ``I got the service I needed.''
    ``It was easy to get what I needed.''
    ``I felt like a valued customer.''
    ``I trust VA to fulfill our country's commitment to veterans.''
    Strongly agree
    Agree
    Neither Agree nor Disagree
    Disagree
    Strongly disagree

    Adding these questions is necessary to establish an enterprise 
measure of VA's performance as experienced by our Veterans, as is 
needed to support VA's Veterans Experience FY16-17 APG. VA's goal is to 
incorporate these four survey questions into VA's existing customer 
experience by Q1 FY2016. The information collected will be used by VA 
departmental leadership to track enterprise performance improvements as 
experienced by our Veterans.
    VA expects that it will take approximately one minute for each 
survey respondent to answer these new questions. As set forth below, 
this change is expected to affect approximately 132 instruments 
approved under eleven different OMB control numbers. Together, these 
instruments are nearly 1.5 million times per year. The cumulative 
annual burden of this change is more than 24,000 hours ((1 minute per 
submission * 1,462,937 submissions)/60 minutes per hour = 24,382.28 
hours). There is also some annual cost burden associated with this 
request. Specifically, some of these instruments are administered by 
third-party contractors, who will need to revise the instruments.
    VA has provided a table detailing the full burden information for 
each information collection located at http://www.oprm.va.gov/ers/ers_reports.aspx.

[[Page 996]]

Please note, additional instruments approved under these or additional 
control numbers may be included in the Veteran's Experience initiative 
in the future. Therefore, this online table detailing burden 
information will be updated periodically.
