SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Shipbuilding Industrial
Base Demographics Survey; OMB Control Number 0703-0086.
Needs and Uses: The Department of the Navy is collecting this
information to analyze the demographics, training requirements, and
occupational experience of the shipbuilding defense industrial base.
This collection is necessary to comply with Section 1026 of the William
M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2021, which mandates a biennial report to Congress on this topic.
The collected data will be used to draft the biennial congressional
report and to inform the Navy's strategy for funding workforce
development initiatives. The analysis will identify current trends,
projected experience gaps, and other key demographic factors to help
strengthen the shipbuilding workforce. The information is collected via
a Microsoft Excel survey, which is emailed directly to suppliers by the
Naval Sea Systems Command Maritime Industrial Base Program.
The respondents for this survey are private companies and industry
organizations that function as suppliers in the shipbuilding industrial
base. Without this information, the Navy would be unable to provide a
complete report to Congress or develop effective, data-driven
strategies to ensure the health and readiness of the nation's
shipbuilding workforce.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
Annual Burden Hours: 6,075.
Number of Respondents: 1,263.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 1,263.
Average Burden per Response: 4.81 hours.
Frequency: Biennially.
Dated: March 27, 2026.
