SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Optimized Fleet Response 
Plan Phase Variation in Signature and Destructive Behaviors; OMB 
Control Number 0703-OFRP.
    Needs and Uses: Congruent with research findings, the Chief of 
Naval Operations has directed the Navy to create a ``Culture of 
Excellence,'' noting that by focusing on positive, signature behaviors, 
the Navy can build and sustain a lethal force of tough sailors who are 
ethical and masters of their trade. The Navy has identified ten 
signature behaviors to drive a culture of excellence: Treat every 
person with respect, take responsibility, hold others accountable, 
intervene, when necessary, be a leader and encourage leadership, 
embrace diversity, uphold integrity, exercise discipline, and 
contribute to team success.
    The Culture of Excellence Campaign's Perform to Plan effort will 
empower warfighting capability by fostering psychological, physical, 
and emotional toughness. To meet this goal, the Navy needs to 
understand what encourages signature behaviors and reduces destructive 
behaviors and how these behaviors impact readiness. The overarching aim 
of this study is to support this effort. The study will answer three 
questions: (1) What are the rates of signature and destructive 
behaviors during three phases of Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP)? 
(2) Do rates differ by organizational command (department)? (3) How do 
signature and destructive behaviors impact readiness?
    Researchers will utilize a mixed-methods, explanatory sequential 
design where the first phase will be quantitative (survey) followed by 
a qualitative phase (interviews) to elaborate on the quantitative 
findings. The team will ascertain the rates of signature and 
destructive behaviors and differences across selected command types by 
collecting self-report survey data on the prevalence of selected 
signature and destructive behaviors from sailors in different phases of 
the OFRP and in selected different command types. The team will compare 
the data across phases and selected commands to assess differences and 
identify patterns. The team will investigate how selected signature and 
destructive behaviors affect readiness through quantitative and 
qualitative data collection and analysis.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 292.5.
    Number of Respondents: 585.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 585.
    Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Frequency: One-time.
