In support an emergent,
high-visibility requirement directed in Secretary of Defense
Memorandum, “Immediate Actions to Counter Sexual Assault and
Harassment and the Establishment of a 90-Day Independent Review
Commission on Sexual Assault in the Military,” February 26, 2021.
Immediate Action 2 directs the Under Secretary of Defense for
Personnel and Readiness (USD(P&R)) to develop a plan of action
and milestones to conduct high risk installation
evaluations.
There has been both an increase
and decrease in burden for this collection. The burden has
increased due to the amount of time for the focus group, increasing
from an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes per session. The burden
has decreased for the "Competency Assessment for Sexual Assault
Prevention Practitioners (CASAPP)" collection instrument due to the
introduction of the Leadership and Prevention surveys.
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
