    Needs and Uses: The Navy Health of the Force Survey is a strategic 
level engagement survey of the Navy Active Duty population that 
addresses core measures relating to the health of the force. It is 
conducted on behalf of the Chief of Navy Personnel and under the 
authority of 5 U.S.C. 301, Departmental Regulations; 10 U.S.C. 8031 and 
8032, Office of the Chief of Naval Operations; and OPNAV Instruction 
5300.8C, ``Coordination and Control of Personnel Surveys.'' The core 
survey questions support trend analysis on Sailor job satisfaction, 
retention plans, and influences to stay or leave; Health of the Force 
Metrics of connectedness, cohesion, organizational commitment, job 
satisfaction, trust and inclusion; and diversity, equity and inclusion 
in the Navy.
    The 2024 Health of the Force--Personal (HOF-P) Survey addresses 
Sailors' personal lives and the programs and policies that impact them. 
It includes questions about housing for single Sailors, access to 
healthcare, pregnancy and support for pregnant Sailors, childcare, 
parental leave, post birth return to work policies and support for 
work/life balance. Navy management uses the results to evaluate the 
effectiveness of important programs and policies. Insights from the 
survey are included in the Navy's HOF Report to Congress and 
congressional testimony. By consolidating questions about related 
programs and policies into a single survey, we minimize the burden on 
Sailors, reducing multiple potentially overlapping single issue or 
program focused surveys to a single data collection event.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households (Active Duty Sailors).
    Frequency: Once.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
