SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: CHINFO Brand and Opinion 
Research Study; OMB Control Number 0703-GLPS.
    Needs and Uses: The Navy Chief of Information (CHINFO) is required 
to provide public affairs advice to the Secretary of the Navy and the 
Chief of Naval Operations. In order to provide informed advice, it is 
critical that CHINFO be able to assess the communication environment. 
To do so, it is necessary for the Navy to conduct recurrent national 
surveys to determine what Americans understand about their Navy and how 
this understanding changes over time. It is also necessary

[[Page 3732]]

to conduct targeted surveys as needed to determine the impact of 
individual communication activities. Periodic brand and opinion 
research assessments using scientific methods that collect and evaluate 
quantitative and qualitative research will allow CHINFO to understand 
the general public's perceptions, knowledge, issue awareness, message 
exposure, recall and salience, and engagement with the Navy. This 
understanding will allow CHINFO to adjust its communication efforts to 
better communicate with the public and better advise the Secretary of 
the Navy and the Chief of Naval Operations on public awareness and 
sentiment toward the Navy.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,118.
    Number of Respondents: 4,418.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 4,418.
    Average Burden per Response: 15.18 minutes.
    Frequency: Quarterly for recurrent national surveys; On Occasion 
for targeted surveys.
    CHINFO collects both qualitative and quantitative primary research 
data. The quantitative research is conducted quarterly using an 
existing online panel of at least 1,000 randomly sampled American 
adults. Quantitative research is also conducted at Navy events to 
determine the events' impact on Americans' perception of their Navy. 
Additionally, four times per year, the Navy will conduct pre-test and 
post-test pulse assessments to gauge the effectiveness of communication 
campaigns managed by CHINFO. These pulse assessments will be conducted 
either quantitatively or qualitatively.
