Title: Survey of Veteran Enrollees’

Health and Reliance Upon VA, VA Form 

10–21034g. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0609. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: Public Law 104–262, The 

Veterans Health Care Eligibility Reform 

Act of 1996, requires VA implement a 

priority-based enrollment system. VA 

must enroll veterans by specified 

priorities as far down the priorities as 

the available resources permit. The 

number of priority levels to which VHA 

will be able to deliver care will be a 

function of annual funding levels and 

utilization of health care services by 

enrollees. Additionally, eligibility 

reform has brought about the everincreasing need for VA to plan and 

budget for the evolving clinical care 

needs of its extremely dynamic enrollee 

population at risk of need or use of VA 

care. 

There is no valid, recent information 

available in administrative databases on 

all enrollees’ health status, income, and 

their reliance upon the VA system. The 

magnitude of changes each year in

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 38 / Tuesday, February 27, 2007 / Notices 8839 

enrollees, their characteristics, and 

system policies make annual surveys 

necessary to capture this critical 

information for input into VHA’s Health 

Care Services Demand Model. The 

survey will provide VA with current 

information for sound decisions that 

affect the entire VA health care delivery 

system and the veterans it serves. VA 

Form 10–21034g will be used to provide 

the survey data on morbidity and 

reliance that is critical to obtaining 

accurate projections of VA’s ability to 

service veterans who are seeking VA 

health care services. The projections 

will also be used to support VA’s 

Capital Asset Realignment for Enhanced 

Services initiative and will also served 

as the basis for VA’s new emphasis on 

population-based budget formulation, 

policy scenario testing, and strategic 

planning. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households, and Federal Government. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 10,900 

hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: 15 minutes. 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

42,200. 

Dated: February 12, 2007.
