Title: Accelerated Aging among
Vietnam-Era Veterans Survey.
OMB Control Number: 2900—NEW.
Type of Review: New collection.
Abstract: The National Center for
PTSD (NCPTSD) was recently allocated
funds by Congress to be used for
research to advance the prevention and
treatment of PTSD. The original
language of the legislation states the
following: ‘‘The committee recognizes
the importance of the VA National
Center for PTSD in promoting better
prevention, diagnoses, and treatment of
PTSD.’’ In response to this, we have
developed a study that aims to
understand how and the degree to
which warzone deployment is
associated with increased morbidity and
mortality, with particular attention to
potential differences among white,
black, and Hispanic Veterans, as well as
male and female Veterans. To this end,
we will consider multiple aspects of
military service, deployment
experiences, and current stressors of
Vietnam-era Veterans in relation to
current physical and mental health
outcomes. This information will directly
inform intervention efforts aimed at
prevention or treatment of chronic
disorders such as PTSD, depression, and
substance/alcohol use disorders, as well
as comorbid physical health conditions,
particularly in underserved portions of
our Veteran population. This type of
information can inform system-wide
interventions that can maximize
Veterans’ likelihood of receiving timely
and evidence-based healthcare, thereby
preventing long-term health problems.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
Estimated Annual Burden: Mail
Survey: 3,420 hours. Telephone Survey:
2,738 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: Mail Survey: 45 minutes.
Telephone Survey: 45 minutes.

Billing, CHAMPVA Request for Billing.
OMB Control Number: 2900–NEW.

Abstract: The purpose of collecting
this information is to provide basic
information from which potential
liability can be assessed for VA to
recover the cost of care from the liable
party instead of the American taxpayer
and Veteran paying for the care. Failure
to provide any or all of the requested
information may delay or result in VA’s
inability to create accident-related
billing, assert a claim for
reimbursement, and assist the Veteran
in their personal injury or workers
compensation claim. Without a third
party paying for the care, the Veteran
may owe VA copayments. With regards
to the CHAMPVA form alone: Failure to
provide any or all of the requested
information may delay or result in VA’s
inability to provide CHAMPVA benefits.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period

of information was published at 83 FR
