SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Navy Health of the Force 
Survey Program; OMB Control Number: 0703-HOFG.
    Needs and Uses: The Navy Health of the Force (HoF) Surveys are 
strategic level engagement survey initiatives designed to assess 
climate and culture across the entire Department of the Navy 
enterprise. When deployed, the Health of the Force Survey is tailored 
to the unique population (Active Duty Navy, Reserve Navy, Active Duty 
Marine Corps, and Navy civilians) being surveyed, but includes a core 
set of questions and metrics that support comparisons across the Navy 
and provide a means for evaluating changes in culture and climate over 
time. While there is some comparability with other DoD survey 
initiatives, the HoF Survey program is unique in its ability to support 
Service-level and DON-level assessments of culture and climate, as well 
as comparisons across different segments of the DON enterprise. The DON 
is seeking a Generic Clearance for the HoF surveys as each one features 
a common set of core questions, utilizes similar statistical and 
analytical methods, and supports the same goal of assessing climate and 
culture across the DON enterprise.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 6,667.
    Number of Respondents: 20,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 20,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
