    Authority: Executive Order 12862.
    Title: Service Level Measurement--PREVENTS Survey.
    OMB Control Number: None.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Abstract: This survey provides customer experience insights related 
to the experience of Veterans in accessing services and resources made 
possible via Executive Order 13861, known as the President's Roadmap to 
Empower Veterans and End a National Tragedy of Suicide (PREVENTS). 
Feedback on this survey from Veterans Service Organizations, Veterans, 
and community organizations will help ensure that the PREVENTS Office 
has the information it needs to implement the Roadmap and communicate 
its efforts to empower Veterans and prevent suicide. Survey respondents 
will include Veterans Service Organization Members, Veterans, and 
individuals affiliated with nonprofit and community organizations. This 
survey is a non-probability-based survey and is not intended to make 
inferences about any overall population. This survey will be 
administered to Veterans who are affiliated with Veteran Service 
Organizations, individuals affiliated with Veteran-focused community-
based or nonprofit organizations, or individuals who are affiliated 
with Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs).
    The survey will be publicized via an article that contains a survey 
link in a Blog in the Vet Resources Newsletter produced by the 
Department of Veterans Affairs, email communications with Veterans 
Service Organizations, and email, in-person, and video-message 
communications to community-based organizations and strategic partners. 
Collected data are uploaded to the VSignals survey analysis tool and 
raw data are made present for analysis.
    Survey questions focus on current and potential mental health 
resources, communication channels, and outreach strategies that are 
currently being provided, or could be provided, to Veterans to ensure 
their safety and security.
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 4,767 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 5 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: Once.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 57,200.
