SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Reserve Component Spouse
Survey; OMB Control Number 0704-0653.
Needs and Uses: The DoD Survey of Reserve Component Spouses is the
primary source for reliable and generalizable data on the effects of
military life on military spouses and their families and the impact of
military life on Reserve component war fighter readiness and retention.
This data provides vital information on the need for programs and
policies under the purview of DoD's Military Community and Family
Policy Department. Without this biennial survey, DoD would not have
current data to guide limited resources to the appropriate programs,
policies, and services related to reserve component spouses, their
families, and service members.
This survey provides an opportunity for military spouses to
directly expand policy maker's knowledge by sharing their experiences
and opinions on issues that directly affect them. Success of current
efforts, the impact of activations and deployments, and opportunities
to identify areas of need are captured via this biennial survey. These
survey results ensure that policy-making decisions are based on current
and statistically reliable data regarding the lived experiences of
Reserve component families.
The legislation authorizing the USD(P&R) to conduct these surveys
is provided under 10 United States Code (U.S.C.), Sections 136, 1782
and 2358, and 37 U.S.C., Section 1008(b).
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 8,900.
Number of Respondents: 17,800.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 17,800.
Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
Frequency: Biennially.
Dated: June 4, 2025.
