    Annual Burden Hours: 2,250.
    Number of Respondents: 4,500.

    Respondents are the spouses of active duty members of the command 
or selected reserves of the command. They may also be the parent or 
family member of a single service member or retired service members of 
the command that meet certain requirements. The information obtained 
from the worksheets assists CNIC in identifying resources and/or 
trainings to assist ombudsmen in supporting and maintaining family 
readiness, which enables commands to focus on mission readiness. 
Statistics provided from collection shows commanding officers the 
issues and concerns of command families, trends during deployment 
versus non-deployment periods, and training which may be beneficial to 
the command and families. The worksheet information shows Navy 
leadership the cost avoidance benefit to the Navy for having ombudsmen 
perform the types of services that they deliver.
