SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Authority: E.O. 12862.
    Title: Veterans' Health Benefits Handbook Questionnaire--VA Form 
10-0507.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0773.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The Veterans' Health Benefits Handbook is available to 
all enrolled Veterans. The Handbook contains general eligibility and 
benefits information and most importantly, information specific to the 
Veteran. VHA seeks approval for this collection to provide Veterans an 
opportunity to provide anonymous feedback on the content and 
presentation of the material contained in the Handbook. VHA will use 
the information gathered to determine how well the Handbook meets 
Veterans' needs and make changes to the Handbook where needed. This 
voluntary survey will not be used as a substitute for traditional 
program evaluation surveys that measure objective outcomes. To maximize 
the voluntary response rates, the information collection will be 
designed to foster convenient, simple and barrier free participation. 
The data collected will consist of the minimum amount of information 
necessary to determine customer satisfaction. The areas of concern to 
VHA and its customers change rapidly and it is essential to have the 
ability to evaluate customer concerns in a timely manner.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a 
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of 
information was published at Vol. 82 FR No. 162, August 23, 2017, page 
40064.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 135 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 5 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: Annually.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,060.

    By direction of the Secretary.
Cynthia Harvey-Pryor,
Department Clearance Officer, Office of Quality, Privacy and Risk, 
Department of Veterans Affairs.
