SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Marine Corps Safety Needs 
Assessment; OMB Control Number 0712-LMSA.
    Type of Request: New.
    Number of Respondents: 9,048.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 9,048.
    Average Burden per Response: 0.25 hours.
    Annual Burden Hours: 2,262 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The Deputy Secretary of Defense recently directed 
implementation of Service tailored lethal means safety (LMS) plans, 
which leverage the Defense Suicide Prevention Office's (DSPO's) LMS 
suite of evidence-informed tools. In accordance with guidance, and with 
recommendations from the Government Accountability Office to assess the 
efficacy of nonclinical suicide prevention efforts, DSPO aims to help 
the Services conduct a thorough evaluation of their LMS outreach 
efforts.
    DSPO has contracted with the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) to 
conduct a

[[Page 50320]]

study titled ``Assessing the Implementation and Effectiveness of DoD's 
LMS Outreach Materials'' to assist the Services in meeting the 
requirements set forth in DoD Instruction 6490.16 that all suicide 
prevention activities are developed from a relevant evidence-base and 
have an evaluation capability prior to implementation. CNA, in 
conjunction with the participating Services (i.e., Air Force, Army, 
Navy, and Special Operations Command), propose an information 
collection covering LMS evaluation activities specific to the needs of 
each respective Service to assess the implementation, acceptability, 
and/or effect of their specific LMS activities and materials.
    This Federal Register Notice covers the evaluation activity 
specific to the Marine Corps.
    Marine Corps suicide attempt rates are among the highest in the 
DoD, with most attempts occurring via firearm, there is a perception 
that existing LMS messaging and training are not resonating with 
Marines. In order to examine this trend within the Marine Corps and 
gather relevant baseline data for the larger DSPO initiative, CNA, in 
conjunction with the Marine Corps Marine and Family Programs Division 
(MFP), propose the information collection, ``Marine Corps Safety Needs 
Assessment'' survey. This voluntary survey examines current LMS program 
awareness, preferences for safety devices and locations, and the place 
of safety in Marine Corps culture.
    This survey will assist MFP in identifying, from the perspective of 
Marines, the reach of current LMS efforts and the acceptability of 
potential LMS activities. The results of the survey will be used by MFP 
and DSPO to better understand which LMS activities and messages 
resonate with Marines, as well as serve as a baseline data for future 
LMS activity effectiveness evaluations in accordance with the standards 
of practice framework prescribed by DoD Instruction 6490.16.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Once.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
