Short Statement: This information collection is being amended to change the location to where it is sent, an item normally considered to be a non-substantive change. In 2008 the total burden hours reported (156,200 hours) increased to approximately 202,100 total burden hours in 2010 – an increased of 29 percent. The increase in burden hours between 2008 and 2010 was due to the in the increase number of VETS-100 and VETS-100A Reports filed. But, the electronic filings allowed the burden hours to rise at a slower rate. The electronic filing of the VETS-100 and VETS-100A reports required one-half hour to complete compared to the one hour required to complete a paper report forms. An important benefit of electronic filing is the increased accuracy of the information collected and the quicker completion of the reporting process.
