SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Navy Health of the Force 
Survey; OMB Control Number 0703-0079.
    Needs and Uses: The Navy Health of the Force Survey is a strategic 
level engagement survey of the Navy Active Duty population that 
addresses core measures relating to the health of the force, and 
addresses emergent issues of interest to Navy leadership. The core 
survey questions support trend analysis on the following metrics: 
Sailor job satisfaction, retention plans, and influences to stay or 
leave; Health of the Force Metrics: Connectedness, cohesion, 
organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and inclusion; and 
diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Navy. The survey alternates 
between addressing issues pertaining to the work environment (odd 
years) and issues pertaining to programs and policies that support 
Sailors personal lives (even years). The survey is being revised in 
2023 to include Navy Reserve Personnel and add questions related to 
their experience. Additionally, new questions relating to trust, work/
life balance, safe work environments, and Morale, Welfare, and 
Recreation support services. The results of the annual engagement 
survey inform the Navy's Health of the Force Report to Congress, 
congressional testimony, and support program and policy assessments.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 14,583.33.
    Number of Respondents: 35,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
