SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Qualitative Data Collection 
on Access to Food on and Near Military Installations; OMB Control 
Number 0704-AFMI.
    Needs and Uses: The Military Community & Family Policy (MC&FP) 
within the DoD's Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense is 
requesting Office of Management and Budget clearance for Qualitative 
Data Collection on Enlisted Service Member Access to Food on or Near 
Military Installations. MCFP will collect qualitative data through 
interviews and/or focus groups with Enlisted Active Duty Service 
members and spouses of Enlisted Active Duty Service members to 
understand the eating and spending patterns of the Enlisted military. 
Survey data has shown that 24% of the Active Duty Force report some 
level of food insecurity; the prevalence is higher in the Enlisted 
population and higher for those who live on-base than off-base. Similar 
data patterns were seen in the Active Duty Spouse Survey. At this time, 
little is known about the underlying causes of higher rates of food 
insecurity in the military, especially as it pertains to those who 
experience food insecurity while living on a base with dining 
facilities. Qualitative data collection will allow the DoD to collect 
data that will inform targeted initiatives to reduce food insecurity. 
Data collection will address the access to nutritious food and 
financial management of Service members and spouses' financial 
management practices.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 240.
    Number of Respondents: 360.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 360.
    Average Burden per Response: 40 minutes.
    Frequency: Once.

    Dated: August 16, 2022.
