SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Veterans Supplement to the Current 
Population Survey is conducted annually. This supplement is co-
sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and by the U.S. 
Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service. Data 
collected through this supplement will be used by the co-sponsors to 
determine policies that better meet the needs of our Nation's veteran 
population. The supplement provides information on the labor force 
status of veterans with a service-connected disability, combat 
veterans, past or present National Guard and Reserve members, and 
recently discharged veterans. Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam veterans 
are identified by location of service. Also, questions include items 
about veterans' transition from Active Duty to civilian employment, 
details about working with service-connected disabilities, awareness of 
VA benefits, and work duties while in the Armed Forces. Data are 
provided by period of service and a range of demographic 
characteristics. The supplement also provides information on veterans' 
participation in various transition and employment and training 
programs. Respondents are veterans who are not currently on active duty 
or are members of a household where a veteran lives. For additional 
substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice 
published in the Federal Register on February 27, 2024 (89 FR 14522).
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and 
the public is generally not required to respond to an information 
collection, unless the OMB approves it and displays a currently valid 
OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions 
of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to 
comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid 
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
