veterans. 

The Department’s annual performance

reports also provide information on the 

outcomes of projects’ work and of the 

VUB program as a whole. In addition, 

APR data allows the Department to 

respond to the reporting requirements of 

the Government Performance and 

Results Act. 

The APR has been updated to include 

questions related to the Competitive 

Preference Priorities used in the most 

recent competition. These questions are 

not expected to affect the total burden 

hours per response.
