SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Army Youth Program 
Evaluation Survey; OMB Control Number 0702-CYSS.
    Needs and Uses: The USA is seeking public comment on a proposed 
information collection designed to conduct an outcome evaluation of its 
Child, Youth, and School Services (CYSS) Youth Program. This evaluation 
will formally assess the program's impacts on Soldier mission focus, as 
well as overall family and youth well-being. To gather this 
information, a confidential online survey will be administered to two 
distinct groups of Army parents: those with children participating in 
the CYSS program and a comparison group with non-participating 
children. The resulting data will be used to analyze and compare 
outcomes between the two groups, providing an evidence-based assessment 
of program effectiveness and guiding future improvements to these 
critical family support services.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 100.
    Number of Respondents: 300.
    Responses per Respondent: 2.
    Annual Responses: 600.
    Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.
    Frequency: Twice. This is planned as a two-timepoint study, with 
data collections occurring approximately four months apart.

     Dated: February 9, 2026.
