SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Sexual Violence Support and 
Experience Study; OMB Control Number 0704-SVSS.
    Type of Request: New.
    Number of Respondents: 300.
    Responses per Respondent: 4.
    Annual Responses: 1,200.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 300 hours.
    Needs and Uses: Information from the Sexual Violence Support and 
Experience Study (SVSES) will be used by OUSD(P&R) policy offices, and 
the Military Departments to improve personnel policies, programs, 
practices, and trainings related to sexual assault response and 
accountability systems in the military. It will provide the policy 
offices of the OUSD(P&R) with current data on (1) Service member 
satisfaction with sexual assault support resources; (2) the impact that 
the military support and justice processes have on Service members who 
experience sexual assault during military service (e.g., their 
psychological health and well-being); and (3) aspects of the military 
support and justice process that relate to retention intention, career 
progression, and separation from military service. Any Service member 
(Active or Reserve component) who has experienced sexual assault since 
joining the military will be eligible to participate in the study. 
Recruitment for the SVSES will include proactive outreach to Service 
members who previously filed an unrestricted report for sexual assault 
and Service members who requested to learn more about the study. The 
Office of People Analytics (OPA) will administer the SVSES via the web. 
The survey will be administered online via proprietary software 
developed by OPA's operations contractor. To reduce respondent burden, 
these online surveys will use ``smart skip'' technology to ensure 
respondents only answer questions that are applicable to them. The 
study will not produce generalizable statistics or findings; rather, it 
will inform policy and program offices within the DoD about Service 
member satisfaction with sexual assault response resources and 
processes and the sexual assault

accountability system. OPA will provide interim reports regarding the 
findings of the study to OUSD(P&R) policy offices on a biannual basis 
and a full report on a biennial basis. Data from the SVSES will also be 
used in future analyses.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Quarterly.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
