SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Qualitative Data Collection 
on Access to Food on and Near Military Installations; OMB Control 
Number 0704-AFMI.
    Type of Request: New.
    Number of Respondents: 360.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 360.
    Average Burden per Response: 40 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 240 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The Military Community & Family Policy (MC&FP) 
within the DoD's Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense is 
requesting Office of Management and Budget clearance for Qualitative 
Data Collection on Enlisted Service Member Access to Food on or Near 
Military Installations. This collection of information is necessary for 
MCFP to collect qualitative data through interviews and/or focus groups 
with Enlisted Active Duty Service members and spouses of Enlisted 
Active Duty Service members to understand the eating and spending 
patterns of the Enlisted military. Survey data has shown that 24% of 
the Active Duty Force report some level of food insecurity; the 
prevalence is higher in the Enlisted population and higher for those 
who live on-base than off-base. Similar data patterns were seen in the 
Active Duty Spouse Survey. At this time, little is known about the 
underlying causes of higher rates of food insecurity in the military, 
especially as it pertains to those who experience food insecurity while 
living on a base with dining facilities. Qualitative data collection 
will allow the DoD to collect data that will inform targeted 
initiatives to reduce food insecurity. Data collection will address the 
access to nutritious food and financial management of Service members 
and spouses' financial management practices.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Once.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
