SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Exceptional Family Member 
Program (EFMP) Family Needs Assessment; DD Form 3054; OMB Control 
Number 0704-0580.
    Needs and Uses: Section 1781c of Title 10, U.S.C. requires the 
Office of Community Support for Military Families with Special Needs 
(OSN) to enhance and improve support for military families with special 
needs. In this effort, OSN and the four Services developed the DD Form 
3054 Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) Family Needs Assessment 
(FNA) as standard documentation to guide assessment of needs, service 
planning and case transfer processes for the Family Support component 
of the EFMP. The EFMP FNA assists EFMP Family Support staff in 
identifying the needs of families and developing plans of action. The 
EFMP FNA addresses current differences in assessment processes and 
inconsistent transfer of cases across the Services. With this 
standardized form, installation-level EFMP Family Support Offices can 
provide a family support experience that is consistent across the 
Services and maintains continuity of services when military families 
with special needs have Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders to a 
Same-Service or Sister-Service location. DD form 3054 is used by EFMP 
Family Support staff in collaboration with families who request 
assistance in navigating resources and systems of support. The Form 
documents a family's needs and provides a plan for them to gain access 
to support and resources in the community which meets those needs. The 
Family Services Plan Addendum provides a plan of action and a way to 
track the progress towards goals set by the family with the assistance 
of the EFMP Family Support staff.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 10,000 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 20,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 20,000.
