SUPPORTING STATEMENT - PART A
USMC Family Care Programs Forms
OMB Control Number 0712-FMLY
1. Need for the Information Collection
USMC Family Care Branch is comprised of the Child and Youth Programs (CYP) and the School Liaison Program (SLP). The mission of the CYP is to provide quality, accessible, and affordable childcare programs and services to support the overall operational readiness and retention of Marine Corps families. The mission of the SLP is to promote awareness of the unique educational challenges face by military-connected children.
Due to the transient nature of military life, there is a critical need to ensure a "warm handoff" of services for families as they move between installations. Without a formal process to connect families to resources at their new duty station, children may experience gaps in educational support and childcare, which can negatively impact family well-being and, by extension, service member readiness.
Furthermore, to foster a supportive community for military youth, the USMC's Youth Connection (YC) program requires a method to identify and select motivated youth to serve as peer leaders. These leaders play a vital role in welcoming new students and supporting their peers.
Therefore, this information collection is necessary to:
Formally manage the continuity of care and educational support for transitioning families.
Identify and select qualified candidates for the youth peer leadership program.
Authorities to collect the information:
10 U.S. Code (USC) Ch. 88, Subchapter II, Military Child Care, outlines the responsibilities of eligible patrons of the CYP and CYP professionals.
10 USC § 8013, Secretary of the Navy
10 USC § 8041, Headquarters, Marine Corps
DoD Instruction (DoDI) 6060.02, Child Development Programs, supports the mission readiness, family readiness, retention, and morale of the total force during peacetime, overseas contingency operations, periods of force structure change, relocation of military units, base realignment and closure, and other emergency situations (e.g., natural disasters and epidemics).
DoDI 6060.04, Youth Services Policy, ensures that Youth Services contributes to the readiness, retention, and lethality of the Total Force by helping families balance the competing demands of work and family life.
MCO 1710.30A, Marine Corps Child and Youth Programs, establishes policy and procedural guidance for the effective execution of the CYP and standardizes childcare and youth programs across the Marine Corps and authority for the use of collection instruments.
MCO 1755.3A, School Liaison Program (SLP), establishes policy and guidance for the SLP by providing education-based services to eligible service members and their families.
2. Use of the Information
The information provided by respondents is used by CYP and SLP staff to administer specific services that address the needs described above. Respondents, who are parents, guardians, and youth, receive the forms from CYP/SLP offices or online and return them either in person or electronically for processing.
The use of the information is specific to each form:
NAVMC 1750/16, USMC Family Care Programs Youth Connection Request: Parents or guardians complete this form when they are preparing to relocate to a new installation. Child and Youth Programs Resource and Referral (CYP R&R) staff use the information provided to contact the CYP and SLP at the receiving installation. This action facilitates a "warm handoff," ensuring the new installation is aware of the incoming family's needs regarding school registration, childcare, and other youth services.
NAVMC 1750/17, USMC Family Care Programs Peer Leader Application: Youth, with consent from their parent or guardian, complete this form to apply for a peer leader position within the Youth Connection program. Program staff review the applications to assess the candidate's interest and qualifications. This information is used solely to select youth for the leadership program.
By using the information in this manner, the USMC ensures that transitioning families are seamlessly connected to essential services and that youth leadership programs are adequately staffed, both of which contribute directly to family readiness and the well-being of the military community.
3. Use of Information Technology
It’s estimated that 75% of respondents will fill out the forms electronically and 25% hard copy.
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
The NAVMC 1750/16 is completed once when the family is preparing for a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) and the NAVMC 1750/17 is completed once when requesting to be a peer leader. Both forms are optional and at the parent/guardian/youth request.
