Short Statement: Once implemented, the proposed report would reduce the reporting elements by nearly 50 percent over the currently approved report.

VETS estimates that it would take contractors 20 minutes (a reduction of 10 minutes per report) to complete and electronically file the proposed VETS-4212 Report and 40 minutes (a reduction of 20 minutes per report) to complete a paper version of the proposed VETS-4212 Report.
