SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Survey of Reserve Component 
Spouses; OMB Control Number 0704-RCSS.
    Type of Request: New.
    Number of Respondents: 72,700.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 72,700.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 18,175.
    Needs and Uses: The DoD Survey of Reserve Component Spouses (RCSS) 
is the primary source for reliable and generalizable data on the 
effects of military life on military spouses and their families and the 
effectiveness of current programs and policies related to military 
families. The survey is designed to enhance understanding of how spouse 
and family resilience impact Reserve component force readiness and 
retention, and is also an indicator informing the effectiveness of 
programs and policies under the purview of DoD's Military Community and 
Family Policy Department. Without this biennial survey, DoD would not 
have current data to guide limited resources to the appropriate 
programs, policies, and services related to reserve component spouses, 
their families and ultimately Service members. This survey provides an 
opportunity for military spouses to directly expand policy makers' 
knowledge by sharing opinions on issues that directly affect them. 
Success of current efforts, the impact of activations and deployments, 
and opportunities to identify areas of need are captured via this 
biennial survey. These survey results ensure that policy-making 
decisions are based on current and statistically reliable data 
regarding the lived experiences of Reserve component families.
