SUPPORTING STATEMENT - PART A
MC&FP Family Advocacy Program (FAP) Initial Entry Point Environmental Scan – 0704-XXXX
1. Need for the Information Collection
Information collection is required to satisfy the requirements in Section 549 of the FY 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which requires the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study to identify initial entry points through which military family members may seek information or support relating to domestic abuse or child abuse and neglect. The study is an environmental scan and is not intended to be an exhaustive investigation. Military Community Advocacy, Military Community and Family Policy (MC&FP), has authorized Deloitte Consulting to collect information in response to this congressionally mandated task as stipulated in Technical Direction Document (TDD) 0008, under the Common Services Effort core contract (Contract Number HDQMWR-20-F-0035).
2. Use of the Information
Information collection will occur at nine (9) installations to gain insight into known, unknown and potentially new entry points through which military family members may seek information and support for domestic abuse and child abuse and neglect. Installations include Camp Lejeune, NC; Twentynine Palms, CA; Naval Air Station Fallon, NV; Naval Station Great Lakes, IL; Ramstein AB, Germany; Eglin AFB, FL; Schofield Barracks, HI; Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, VA; Fort Irwin, CA. Installations were identified according to criteria aimed at yielding a diverse set of observations including from Services, location, proximity to major population centers, number of assigned military personnel, primary installation mission, Service component, DoDEA school presence, and level of installation medical care.
Information will be collected through stakeholder conversations to support a complete response to the NDAA tasking. The collection instrument is the MC&FP Family Advocacy Program Initial Entry Point Environmental Scan Stakeholder Engagement Script, which includes questions pre-approved by MC&FP leadership.
Respondents will be DoD civilian employees with more than six (6) months experience in a position associated with known and potential entry points where military family members may seek information or services for domestic abuse and child abuse and neglect. MC&FP provided a sample of major DoD program interaction points and Deloitte Consulting expanded the sample through open-source research. A maximum of 360 stakeholders will be interviewed by Deloitte Consulting. This accounts for one (1) stakeholder representing each of the approximately forty (40) entry points at the nine (9) identified installations.
Deloitte Consulting will collect information through telephone interviews that are strictly voluntary and will last approximately 7.5 minutes. These conversations will be conducted randomly and anonymously across the select installations. Contact information for the entry points will be gathered from publicly available sources such as installation websites. Two members from Deloitte Consulting will join each call and initiate direct contact. One person will be a designated notetaker while the other person guides the conversation using the Stakeholder Engagement Questions to ensure consistency. Questions will be closed-ended and limited to fact-based queries that do not elicit stakeholders’ personal beliefs, values, or attitudes. Respondents will answer questions verbally and will not provide written responses. No written communication will be sent directly to respondents prior to information collection. However, the NDAA tasking and MC&FP’s memo will be emailed to respondents upon request.
Deloitte Consulting will compile notes from each conversation in a spreadsheet for analysis. No personally identifying information will be collected.
This information collection will contribute to DoD and the United States Congress’ objective and efforts to improve the prevention of and response to family and interpersonal violence and maladaptive behavior. The end result will be 1) an itemized list of existing Armed Forces or DoD initial entry points through which military family members may seek information or support relating to domestic abuse and child abuse and neglect; and 2) the identification of other existing or potential routes through which such family members may seek information or support. The Secretary of Defense will provide these results to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives not later than one year after the date of enactment of the FY 2022 NDAA.
3. Use of Information Technology
100% of responses will be collected verbally by phone.
4. Non-duplication
The information obtained through this collection is unique and is not already available for use or adaptation from another cleared source.
5. Burden on Small Businesses
This information collection does not impose a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses or entities.
6. Less Frequent Collection
This is a one-time data collection to identify initial entry points through which military family members may seek information or support relating to domestic abuse or child abuse and neglect.
7. Paperwork Reduction Act Guidelines
