SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Leader Assessment of the 
DoD's Toolkit for Managing Suicide-Related Events; OMB Control Number: 
0720-SPTK.
    Type of Request: New.
    Number of Respondents: 200.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 200.
    Average Burden per Response: 120 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 400.
    Needs and Uses: The Defense Suicide Prevention Office (DSPO) has 
developed an online postvention toolkit intended to equip DoD personnel 
with a better understanding of how to support survivors in a way that 
is sensitive to the unique issues associated with

[[Page 43832]]

suicide-related events. Sections of the toolkit were specifically 
designed to facilitate leader decision-making, support, and management 
of suicide-related events. While this toolkit is a critical step in 
supporting postvention in the military, it has yet to be formally 
evaluated. In accordance with Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 
6490.16, DSPO and Military Departments must ``ensure that suicide 
prevention activities are developed from a relevant evidence-base and 
have an evaluation capability'' prior to implementation. Suicide 
prevention activities that were in place prior to release of the DoDI 
6490.16 must be reviewed for improvement and gather program evaluation 
data. In addition, Government Accountability Office (GAO) Report GAO-
22-105108 titled ``DoD Should Enhance Oversight, Staffing, Guidance, 
and Training Affecting Certain Remote Installations,'' recommended that 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, in 
collaboration with DSPO, establish guidance to address commanders' 
response to suicide attempts, including the extent of any 
responsibilities related to reintegration of Service members into the 
workplace following a suicide attempt. The proposed project will allow 
DSPO to meet the DoDI 6490.16 requirement for development of an 
evaluation plan for the DSPO Postvention Toolkit, while simultaneously 
meeting GAO's requirements to explore and develop resources to meet the 
needs of military leaders' in supporting Service member reintegration 
following a suicide attempt. Feedback from leaders is needed to 
understand the perceptions of the toolkit to guide improvements in 
content, approach, and dissemination.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Frequency: Once.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Matt Eliseo.
