SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Exceptional Family Member 
Program (EFMP) Family Needs Assessment (FNA); DD Form 3054; OMB Control 
Number 0704-0580.
    Needs and Uses: This information collection through the Family 
Needs Assessment (FNA) is necessary to assist EFMP Family Support staff 
in identifying the needs of families and developing plans of action. 
The Family Services Plan Addendum allows EFMP Family Support staff and 
families to track identified steps in addressing their needs and goals. 
The Inter-Services Transfer Summary (ISTS) Addendum facilitates the 
transfer of cases between sister-Service Family Support Offices when a 
family requests a warm hand-off to a gaining installation.
    The EFMP FNA addresses current differences in assessment processes 
and inconsistent transfer of cases across the Services. With this 
standardized form, installation-level EFMP Family Support Offices can 
provide a family support experience that is consistent across the 
Services and maintains continuity of services when military families 
with special needs have Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders to a 
joint base or sister-Service location.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 10,000.
    Number of Respondents: 20,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 20,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Frequency: As needed.
    This form is used by EFMP Family Support staff in collaboration 
with families who request assistance in navigating resources and 
systems of support. The DD Form 3054 will be standardized across the 
four Services with the goal of facilitating a consistent Family Support 
experience for all military families.
    Form respondents include EFMP Family Support staff who complete the 
form in conjunction with families who are needing support services. The 
FNA will be stored and maintained internally at the Family Support 
Office. A family may request a copy of the Form.

    Dated: September 17, 2024.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
