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
collection of information, VBA 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 VBA’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.
Title: Post Separation Transition
Assistance Program (TAP) Assessment
Survey.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0864.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: The PSTAP Assessment is
administered by VA to assess how the
TAP training for Transitioning Service
members (TSMs) prepares Veterans for
civilian life and its effects on long-term
Veteran outcomes. This information
collection request (ICR) is conducted
once per year and is designed as two
separate collections which include a
Cross-Sectional Survey and a
Longitudinal Survey. The survey
population for the Cross-Sectional
Survey includes all Veterans who meet
the criteria at the time of fielding of
having separated from the military at six
months, one year, and three years prior
to the date that surveys. Service
members who participated in the CrossSectional Survey and voluntarily agreed
to participate in the Longitudinal
Survey make up the Longitudinal
Survey population. VA will use email
and mail methods to administer the
survey, reducing the burden on
respondents. The surveys are necessary
to gauge the long-term effectiveness of

the Transition Assistance Program
(TAP) by: (1) examining the relationship
between attendance in TAP courses and
the use of VA Benefits; (2) analyzing the
effect of participation in TAP courses on
the long-term outcomes of Veterans in
the broad life domains of employment,
education, health and social
relationships, financial, social
connectivity and overall satisfaction and
well-being, and; (3) identifying areas of
improvement for TAP and the broader
transition process to guide training and/
or operational activities aimed at
enhancing the quality of service
provided to transitioning service
members, Veterans, their families and
caregivers.
The National Defense Authorization
Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019
mandated several changes to TAP. In
addition, Section 4305 of the Veterans
Health Care and Benefits Improvement
Act of 2020 (hereafter referred to as
Public Law 116–315) calls for a one-year
independent assessment of TAP.
Section 4306 of Public Law 116–315
calls for a five-year longitudinal study
on three cohorts of Veterans to assess
changes to TAP under the Fiscal Year
2019 NDAA and changes based on the
independent assessment under Section
4305 and provide annual progress
reports and a final report. The Section
4306 Study will analyze the outcomes
between Veterans who attended TAP
before and after changes to the program.
Both the PSTAP Assessment and
Section 4306 Study are included in this
current ICR because some Veterans in
the PSTAP Study were also selected for
the Section 4306 Study cohorts. A single
survey instrument collects the
information needed for both studies, so
Veterans are not contacted twice. This
reduces burden while ensuring both
studies collect the data required to meet
Congressional and Government
requirements.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Estimated Annual Burden: 9,582
hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 18.5 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Annual.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
31,075.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
