SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Department of Defense
Survivor Family Member Survey; OMB Control Number 0704-SFMS.
Needs and Uses: The National Defense Authorization Act of 2006
(Pub. L. 109-163) requires data to be collected on the quality of
casualty assistance provided to next of kin of military decedents.
Beginning in early 2010, the DoD began inviting all primary next of kin
to participate in a survey that is designed to measure the
effectiveness of its casualty assistance program and the degree of
satisfaction of those family members provided such assistance. In 2019,
DoD began surveying secondary next of kin, which accounts for the
increase in parent and guardian participation. Family responses are
held confidentially and will not be reported individually, unless
specifically requested by the respondent, but rather are combined with
the responses of other survey participants. The aggregate findings from
the survey are reported to senior leadership along with recommendations
on how we might better serve those who are receiving assistance.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 270 hours.
Number of Respondents: 540.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 540.
Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
Dated: August 24, 2022.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
