SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Active Duty Spouse Survey; 
OMB Control Number 0704-0604.
    Type of Request: Regular.
    Number of Respondents: 72,700.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 72,700.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 18,175 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The DoD Survey of Active Duty Spouse Survey (ADSS) 
is the primary source for reliable and generalizable data on the 
effects of military life on military spouses and their families and the 
effectiveness of current programs and policies related to military 
families. The survey is designed to enhance understanding of how spouse 
and family resilience impact force readiness and retention and is also 
an indicator informing the effectiveness of programs and policies under 
the purview of DoD's Military Community and Family Policy (MC&FP) 
Department. Without this biennial survey, DoD would not have current 
data to guide limited resources to the appropriate programs, policies, 
and services related to military spouses, their families and ultimately 
Service members.
    This survey provides an opportunity for military spouses to 
directly expand policy maker's knowledge by sharing opinions on issues 
that directly affect them. Success of current efforts and shortfalls in 
programs and policies are identified through this biennial survey. 
These survey results ensure decisions based on current and 
statistically reliable data.
    The legislation authorizing the USD(P&R) to conduct these surveys 
is provided under 10 United States Code (U.S.C.), Sections 136, 1782 
and 2358, and 37 U.S.C., Section 1008(b).
