The Office of Small and Disadvantaged
Business Utilization (OSDBU) needs to measure the return on
investment (ROI) the National Veteran Small Business Engagement
(NVSBE) provides to VA and its attendees. VA intends to gather data
that will allow OSDBU to measure the efficiency of this event, to
learn how to better serve its stakeholders needs and to share this
information with potential attendees.
The collection instrument was
internally tested on VA OSDBU employees for the 2014 NVSBE. The
duration was approximately seven minutes to complete. The results
from 2014 NVSBE were evaluated and displayed a median time of nine
minutes and two seconds. A 30-day Federal Register Notice (Vol. 80,
No. 157) was posted showing an estimated average burden per
respondent of 7 minutes and an estimated annual burden of 117. The
hour burden of the collection was recalculated presenting nine
minutes and 150 hours.
