SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: CATCH Program; OMB Control 
Number 0703-0069.
    Needs and Uses: Section 543 of Public Law 113-291, the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 requires that an 
individual who files a restricted report on an incident of sexual 
assault may elect to inform a Military Criminal Investigative 
Organization (MCIO) on a confidential basis and without affecting the 
restrictive nature of the report.
    The MCIOs will use the information collected to query unrestricted 
sexual assault investigations and existing restricted reports in the 
CATCH database and potentially identify serial sexual assault offenders 
in both restricted and unrestricted reports of sexual assault. 
Respondents to this information collection are victims in restricted 
reports of sexual assault made to the Department of Defense. The 
respondents are providing information for this collection because upon 
making their restricted report of sexual assault to a Sexual Assault 
Response Coordinator, each respondent was given the option of 
voluntarily making a submission to this database. The respondents who 
elect to participate can do so by providing information electronically 
or through a CATCH submission form. The successful end result of this 
information collection is the identification of serial sexual assault 
offenders that otherwise may have gone undetected if the information 
had remained restricted from MCIO access.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 193.
    Number of Respondents: 385.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 385.
    Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
