SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: QuickCompass of Sexual 
Assault Prevention and Response Personnel (QSAPR); OMB Control Number 
0704-0603.
    Needs and Uses: The QuickCompass of Sexual Assault Prevention and 
Response Personnel (QSAPR) assesses perceived reprisal or retaliation 
to incidents (professionally or otherwise), access to sufficient 
physical and mental health services as a result of the nature of their 
work, access to installation and unit commanders, access to both 
victims' and alleged offenders' immediate commander(s), responsiveness 
of commanders to Sexual Assault Response Coordinators (SARCs), support 
and services provided to sexual assault victims, understanding of 
others of the process and their willingness to assist, adequacy of 
training received by SARCs and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 
(SAPR) Victims' Advocates (VAs) to effectively perform their duties, 
and other factors affecting the ability of SARCs and SAPR VAs to 
perform their duties. In addition, the results of the survey will 
assess progress, identify shortfalls, and revise policies and programs 
as needed. Data will be aggregated and reported triennially in 
perpetuity. Ultimately, the study will provide a report to Congress and 
all of the data, programs, and computational details necessary for 
replication and peer review.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,667.
    Number of Respondents: 5,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 5,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
    Frequency: As required.
    The target population for this survey will be all SARCs, VAs, and 
Special Victims' Counsels (SVCs)/Victims' Legal Counsels (VLCs) who are 
either Active Duty, Reserves/National Guard, or a DoD civilian 
employee. The survey will solicit insights into characteristics of SAPR 
programs to better understand how responders are trained for their 
position and their perceptions of how well their program is supported 
and executed.
    The full online survey system will be hosted internally on Office 
of People Analytics (OPA) contractor servers. Participants will receive 
email communications notifying them about the importance of the survey, 
the confidential nature of the data collection, how the data will be 
used, and how to access the website. Respondents will be given a unique 
link and passcode to enter the survey in all email communications. They 
will receive up to no more than seven emails during the survey 
fielding. The reminder emails will be sent only to those selected 
sample members who have not yet responded to the survey or who are not 
active refusers. Once they complete the questions on the survey, there 
is a submit button to send their response.
    OPA weights the eligible respondents in order to make inferences 
about the entire population of SAPR Personnel. The weighting 
methodology utilizes standard weighting processes.
