Terms of Clearance:
Approved consistent with the following terms of clearance: OMB approves the requested information collection for a period of two years, in the next submission of this study to OMB DoD will provide an analysis of responses received during the current clearance period specifically addressing response rates for individuals who did not respond to earlier waves. DoD should also continue to examine potential nonresponse bias in this study, particularly for key health-related variables and outcomes. In the next submission, DoD should provide results from any further nonresponse bias analyses or studies they have done during this clearance period or provide clear plans for these analyses and studies. Additionally, OMB encourages DoD to consider conducting sub-studies of response rates during this clearance period that might include differential levels of cash incentives in order to study effects on response rates. OMB agrees to review such studies on an expedited basis through administrative change requests not subject to public comment generally within 10 days or less.

Short Statement:
During data collection phase 2 approximately 15,500 civilian members of panel 1 completed and submitted the first follow-up questionnaire. This amounted to a civilian burden of 11,625 hours. A total of 14,400 hours was projected for phase 2. Given an estimated civilian burden for data collection phase 3 of 25,578 hours there is a change in burden of positive 11,178. The change in total annualized cost to the Federal Government is positive $185,132. This increase attributes in direct proportion to the increase in numbers of civilian-former military participants in this third data collection wave.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$423,628
