DoD Instruction 6400.01, Family
Advocacy Program (FAP), establishes policy and assigns
responsibility for addressing child abuse and neglect and domestic
abuse through family advocacy programs and services. Each military
Services delivers a family advocacy program to their respective
military members and their families. Military or family members may
use these services, and voluntary personal information must be
gathered to determine benefit eligibility and individual needs and
to enable the DoD to track and report annual aggregate
data.
This is a reinstatement with
change to an expired collection. The DoD Manual, DoDM 6400.01, Vol
2, Family Advocacy Program (FAP): Child Abuse and Domestic Abuse
Incident Reporting System, which provides policy guidance on this
information collection, was under review by the Family Advocacy
Program and the Office of General Counsel pending legislative
changes. The burden has increased since the previous approval due
to revisions made to the formulas used to calculate respondent
burden, personnel costs, and operational and maintenance costs. For
respondent burden, a 10 year average was used to calculate the
number of respondents to reflect a more realistic burden in any
given year. The labor costs for the federal government's personnel
costs were revised to more accurately capture the number of hours
an employee devotes to collecting, entering, and processing this
information collection. Likewise, the operational and maintenance
costs were adjusted to capture the percentage of the total cost to
the Services in order to capture, process, and transmit the data
specific to the data elements related to this information
collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
