SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Independent Analysis and 
Recommendations on Domestic Abuse in the Armed Forces: Field Research; 
OMB Control Number: 0704-DAFR.
    Needs and Uses: A comprehensive, independent analysis on the 
military-specific risk factors for domestic abuse (DA) and the best 
approaches across the coordinated community response system to mitigate 
those factors has never been conducted and is necessary to inform 
sustainable solutions to decrease incidents and prevent violence before 
it occurs. This project is required by the FY21 NDAA, Section 549C, and 
will support (a) the programmatic needs of the sponsoring office--the 
Family Advocacy Program within the Military Community Advocacy 
Directorate in Military Community and Family Policy, (b) Congressional 
requirements per Section 549C of the FY21 National Defense 
Authorization Act, (c) the current administration's priority to address 
gender-based violence, and (d) implementation of some recommendations 
contained in the U.S. Government Accountability Office Report 21-289 
(May 2021). The overall project is wide ranging, from an 
epidemiological analysis to predict stages of military service where 
risk is highest for domestic violence, to an analysis of age-
appropriate and positively focused prevention training for school-aged 
children, to assessing whether prevention would be enhanced by raising 
the disposition authority for domestic violence offenses.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 560.
    Number of Respondents: 560.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 560.
    Average Burden per Response: 1 hour.
    Frequency: On occasion.

    Dated: March 17, 2023.
