The form and website is for use by
victims in restricted reports of sexual assault who wish to make
certain information available to the Military Criminal
Investigative Organizations (MCIO) while keeping the status of
their report as restricted.
The burden hours have increased
since the previous approval due to significant increases in
respondents, increased estimated hourly wages, and increased
expenditure on operation and maintenance of the CATCH website and
database due to various expansions of the CATCH program pursuant to
legislative and policy changes, which are detailed below: CATCH
eligibility was expanded to include the following individuals: 1.
Those who file Unrestricted Report with the Sexual Assault
Prevention and Response (SAPR) program but do not disclose the
identity of the suspect to law enforcement (NDAA FY20, DODI
6495.02-V1, and DODI 5505.18). 2. Those who file a report of
intimate partner sexual abuse with the Family Advocacy Program
(FAP) (NDAA FY15, DoDI 6400.06, and DODI 5505.18) 3. Those who
decline to file a formal report of sexual assault with the SAPR
program (IRC Recommendation 4.2c, DoDI 6495.02, DoDI 6495.02-V1,
and DoDI 5505.18). CATCH was further modified to allow users the
ability to print their entry for their own records or to be used
for a disability claim with the Department of Veterans Affairs (IRC
Recommendation 4.2c and DODI 6495.02-V1).
