submitting an Information Collection Request to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) to satisfy the requirements in a section of

the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study to identify initial entry

satisfy the requirements in Section 549 of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 
National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which requires the Secretary 
of Defense to conduct a study to identify initial entry points through 
which military family members may seek information or support relating 
to domestic abuse or child abuse and neglect. The study is an 
environmental scan and is not intended to be an exhaustive 
investigation. Military Community Advocacy, Military Community and 
Family Policy, has authorized Deloitte Consulting to collect 
information in response to this congressionally mandated task as 
stipulated in Technical Direction Document 0008, under the Common 
Services Effort core contract (Contract Number HDQMWR-20-F-0035). The 
information collection will contribute to DoD and the United States 
Congress' objective and efforts to improve the prevention of and 
response to family and interpersonal violence and maladaptive behavior. 
The end result will be an itemized list of existing Armed Forces or DoD 
initial entry points through which military family members may seek 
information or support relating to domestic abuse and child abuse and 
neglect and the identification of other existing or potential routes 
through which such family members may seek information or support. The 
Secretary of Defense will provide these results to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives not later 
than one year after the date of enactment of the FY 2022 NDAA.
