The 2016-17 N-MHSS differs from the previous version of the survey in the following ways: (a) to facilitate completing the survey online, definitions of terms and other survey information will be offered at the survey website; (b) the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the survey, previously outlined in a flyer accompanying the survey, have now been incorporated into the questionnaire as screening questions; and (c) the questionnaire has been reorganized for greater simplicity and shortened by eliminating several questions identified as no longer relevant.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).

(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
