    SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and 
    respondent burden, Veterans Health Administration (VHA) invites the 
    general public and other Federal agencies to comment on this 
    information collection. This request for comment is being made pursuant 
    to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-13; 44 U.S.C. 
    3506(c)(2)(A)). Comments should address the accuracy of the burden 
    estimates and ways to minimize the burden including the use of 
    automated collection techniques or the use of other forms of 
    information technology, as well as other relevant aspects of the 
    information collection.
    
    DATES: Written comments and recommendations on the proposal for the 
    collection of information should be received on or before May 13, 1996.
    
    ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments to Ann Bickoff, Veterans Health 
    Administration (161A4), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont 
    Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20420. All comments will become a matter of 
    public record and will be summarized in the VHA request for Office of 
    Management and Budget (OMB) approval. In this document VHA is 
    soliciting comments concerning the following information collection:
        OMB Control Number: None Assigned.
        Title and Form Number: Survey of Health Promotion and Preventative 
    Medicine, VA Form 10-21000(NR)
        Type of Review: New collection.
        Need and Uses: Congress has mandated that VA assess the rates that 
    veterans are offered and receive critical health promotion and disease 
    prevention services, and report these rates to Congress on an annual 
    basis, Public Law 102-585. Existing data resources in VA are unable to 
    provide complete documentation regarding receipt of those services. An 
    annual mail survey is proposed to provide the necessary information.

        Estimated Annual Burden: 5,777 hours.
