SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Department of Defense 
Survivor Family Member Survey; OMB Control Number 0704-DDSS.
    Type of Request: Existing collection in use without an OMB control 
number.
    Number of Respondents: 540.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 540.
    Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 270.
    Needs and Uses: The National Defense Authorization Act of 2006 
(Pub. L. 109-163) requires data to be collected on the quality of 
casualty assistance provided to next of kin of military decedents. 
Beginning in early 2010, the DoD began inviting all primary next of kin 
to participate in a survey that is designed to measure the 
effectiveness of its casualty assistance program and the degree of 
satisfaction of those family members provided such assistance. In 2019, 
DoD began surveying secondary next of kin, which accounts for the 
increase in parent and guardian participation. Family responses are 
held confidentially and will not be reported individually, unless 
specifically requested by the respondent, but rather are combined with 
the responses of other survey participants. The aggregate findings from 
the survey are reported to senior leadership along with recommendations 
on how we might better serve those who are receiving assistance.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
