SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Reserve Component Spouse 
Survey; OMB Control Number 0704-0653.
    Type of Request: Revision.
    Number of Respondents: 17,800.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 17,800.
    Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 8,900.
    Needs and Uses: The Reserve Component Spouse Survey (RCSS) is the 
primary source for reliable and generalizable survey data on the 
effects of military life on military spouses and their families and the 
effectiveness of current programs and policies. The Office of People 
Analytics will administer the RCSS to Reserve/National Guard spouses of 
Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force members who are 
below flag rank. This scientific survey is designed to enhance 
understanding of how spouse and family resilience impact force 
readiness and retention and inform the effectiveness of 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 ultimately Service members.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Biennially.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    DOD Clearance Officer: Mr. Reginald Lucas.

     Dated: August 29, 2025.
Stephanie J. Bost,
Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
