SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Service Members 
Transitioning from Active Duty to Veterans Status; OMB Control Number 
0702-XXXX.
    Needs and Uses: This study, exploratory in nature, is designed to 
capture baseline data prior to transition and at three subsequent data 
points after the transition out of service. The purpose of data capture 
before, during, and after transition is to allow the researchers to 
monitor how transition stressors change over time and what factors 
might influence their course. This information will be enormously 
useful in attempts to design and implement interventions that might 
target these stressors.
    Participants will be recruited during a set nine month window in 
which Service Members have self-identified as transitioning out of the 
service within the six months. Participation in the study is voluntary 
and participants will be consented twice, once at baseline (time point 
1) while the Service Member is still active duty and then again at time 
point 2 as civilians. This burden information only accounts for the 
public being affected.
    Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 350 Hours.
    Number of Respondents: 600.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 600.
    Average Burden per Response: 35 minutes.
    Frequency: Annually.
