[Docket ID: DoD-2021-OS-0043]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and 
Readiness, Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION: Information collection notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Consistent with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and its 
implementing regulations, this document provides notice DoD is 
submitting an Information Collection Request to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) to collect information on Service members, 
DoD Civilians, and DoD contractors in evaluating 20 high and low risk 
installations as directed in Immediate Action 2 in the Secretary of 
Defense Memorandum, ``Immediate Actions to Counter Sexual Assault and 
Harassment and the Establishment of a 90-Day Independent Review 
Commission on Sexual Assault in the Military,'' February 26, 2021, DoD 
requests emergency processing and OMB authorization to collect the 
information after publication of this Notice for a period of six 
months.

DATES: Comments must be received by July 7, 2021.

ADDRESSES: The Department has requested emergency processing from OMB 
for this information collection request by 30 days after publication of 
this notice. Interested parties can access the supporting materials and 
collection instrument as well as submit comments and recommendations to 
OMB at www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Comments 
submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and included in 
the request for OMB approval of this information collection. They will 
also become a matter of public record.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Angela Duncan, 571-372-7574, or 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These information collections support an 
emergent, high-visibility Secretary of Defense requirement directed in 
February 2021 to conduct evaluations of 20 DoD installations where the 
military community is at increased or decreased risk for destructive 
behaviors as evidenced by measures of unhealthy command climate. Site 
visits will take place June-August 2021, report development in August 
2021, Military Department coordination in September 2021 and delivery 
of the report to the Secretary by Oct 2021. Given the aggressive 
timelines the purpose of the initial high risk installation evaluations 
is to pilot an evaluation process and metrics in order to develop an 
enduring evaluation method to support future evaluations (expected to 
be conducted on biennial basis). DoD Office of Force Resiliency (OFR) 
will identify 20 DoD installations to take part in the assessment. At 
each location, a handful of DoD personnel who either have direct 
responsibility for prevention activities or their superiors will 
participate. There will be three data sources: (1) Responding to a 
``request for information''; (2) participating in discussions during a 
three day site visit; and (3) completing a survey.

estimate of the burden (including hours and cost) of the proposed 
collection of information; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
