The need for the Navy Ombudsman Program information collection is to solicit and select a spouse, for the volunteer Ombudsman position in Navy components. Ombudsmen act as a liaison between the Navy command/activity and command's families. An ombudsman is ordinarily the spouse of an active duty or Selected Reserve member of the command, enlisted or officer. This requirement can be waived if, after a
diligent search, no appropriate spouse volunteer is available.
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.
