SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Reporting Preference Statement; DD Form 2967; OMB Control Number 0704-
DARS.

    Average Burden Per Response: 1.25 hours.
    Annual Burden Hours: 25,000.
    Needs and Uses: Public Law (Pub. L.) 98-212 established the Family 
Advocacy Program (FAP) for the purpose of identifying, responding, and 
treating child abuse/neglect and domestic abuse. Section 543 of Public 
Law 103-337, National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 
(FY) 1995, establishes the requirement for domestic abuse victim 
advocates (DAVAs) in the Armed Forces that are responsible for (1) 
working with victims of domestic abuse to provide: (a) information on 
available benefits and services, (b) assistance in obtaining those 
benefits and services, and (c) other appropriate assistance. (2) 
Services offered in the case of an individual who is a victim of family 
violence (including intrafamilial sexual, physical, and emotional 
abuse) shall be provided principally through the FAPs of the military 
departments. Section 574 of Public Law 114-328, NDAA for FY 2017, 
requires that the Armed Forces report to Congress critical information 
on the circumstances of incidents of child abuse/neglect and domestic 
abuse to further inform ongoing prevention and response efforts. The 
FAP Central Registry data submitted from each Military Service (Army, 
Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force) is aggregated to report a DoD-wide 
description of the child abuse/neglect and domestic abuse incidents 
reported to FAP annually, by fiscal year. Section 543 of Public Law 
114-328 further directed the Secretary of Defense to include 
information on each claim of retaliation in connection with a report of 
sexual assault (to include domestic abuse incidents) in the Armed 
Forces made by or against a member of such Armed Forces. This includes 
the narrative description and nature of each complaint, information on 
the complainant and alleged retaliator, and summary and determination 
of the investigation. Section 536 of Public Law 116-92, NDAA for FY 
2020, directs the Secretary to prescribe procedures under which a 
victim who files a restricted report on an incident of sexual assault 
(to include domestic abuse incidents) may request, at any time, the 
return of any personal property of the victim obtained as part of the 
sexual assault forensic examination. Section 543 of Public Law 113-291, 
DoDI 5505.18, ``Investigation of Adult Sexual in the Department of 
Defense,'' and Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness 
memorandum, Section 536 of Public Law 115-232, NDAA for FY 2019, 
``Procedures to Implement the ``Catch a Serial Offender Program,'' 
establishes the requirement for the option of expedited transfer to be 
made available to victims of domestic abuse. DoD Instruction (DoDI) 
6400.06, ``DoD Coordinated Community Response to Domestic Abuse 
Involving DoD Military and Certain Affiliated Personnel,'' sets forth 
the policies for the implementation and execution of the FAP to include 
programs consistent
