SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated form; and OMB Number: Service Academy Gender
Relations Survey; OMB Control Number 0704-SAGR.
Type of Request: Regular.
Number of Respondents: 10,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 10,000.
Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
Annual Burden Hours: 5,000 hours.
Needs and Uses: The legal requirements for the Service Academy
Gender Relations (SAGR) surveys can be found in the following:
<bullet> 10 United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 4361, as amended by
John Warner National Defense Authorization Act NDAA for Fiscal Year
(FY) 2007, Section 532
<bullet> 10 United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 481
<bullet> Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 6495.02
These legal requirements mandate that the SAGR solicit information
relating to sexual assault, sexual harassment, and gender
discrimination in the Military Service Academies (MSAs), as well as the
climate at the MSAs and social perspectives. MSAs include the U.S.
Military Service Academy (USMA), the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA), and
U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA). The requirements state that the
assessment cycle consists of surveys and focus groups during alternate
years. They also give the Department authority to conduct such surveys
under the guidance of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and
Readiness (USD(P&R)). The U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA), the only
Federal Military Academy within the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), is not required to participate in the assessments codified by
U.S.C. 10. However, USCGA officials requested the Coast Guard be
included, beginning in 2008, in order to evaluate and improve their
programs addressing sexual assault and sexual harassment. Similarly,
the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA), under the Department of
Transportation (DOT), requested their inclusion beginning in 2012.
USCGA and USMMA will continue to participate in the assessments.
Surveys of USCGA and USMMA are not covered under this DoD licensure and
will not be mentioned further.
The Office of People Analytics (OPA) administers both web-based and
paper-and-pen surveys to support the personnel information needs of the
USD(P&R). The SAGR survey expands a series of surveys that began in
2004 with the DoD Inspector General's first survey, subsequently
transferred to OPA. OPA conducted the SAGR survey at the MSAs in 2005,
2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018. The 2020 administration
of the survey was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2022
survey would be the ninth iteration of the SAGR survey. The first focus
group assessment was conducted in 2007, with subsequent focus groups in
2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2021. Information from the SAGR
surveys will be used by DoD policy offices, the Military Departments,
the MSAS, and Congress for program evaluation and, specifically, to
assess and improve policies, programs, practices, and training related
to gender relations at the MSAs. OPA will provide reports to DoD policy
offices, each Military Department, the MSAs, the Joint Chiefs of Staff
(JCS), and Congress.
