SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Defense Organizational 
Climate Survey; OMB Control Number 0704-DOCS.
    Type of Request: Existing collection in use without an OMB control 
number.
    Number of Respondents: 1,589,098.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 1,589,098.
    Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 794,549.
    Needs And Uses: The Defense Organizational Climate Survey (DEOCS) 
is fielded in response to Section 572 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013. A May 2019 memo from the Acting 
Secretary of Defense directed that the goals of the DEOCS include 
developing and providing leaders with assessment tools ``that help them 
with developing an appropriate course of action from a suite of 
interventions and provide them with feedback on their impact of their 
efforts.'' The information gathered from the DEOCS will be used by 
commanders, prevention workforce personnel, equal opportunity officers, 
survey administrators, and other leaders to assess the unit's command 
climate and measure the risk and protective factors associated with the 
six strategic target outcomes (sexual assault, sexual harassment, 
racial/ethnic discrimination, suicide, readiness, and retention). Based 
on the DEOCS results, commanders, leaders, and their survey 
administrators will develop an action plan to positively impact their 
organization's leadership climate. The survey results are provided to 
the commander/leader and their survey administrator. Survey responses 
could also be used in future analyses. The statutory and policy 
requirements for the DEOCS can be found in the following:
