SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Navy CHINFO Quarterly Brand 
Opinion Survey; OMB Control Number 0703-0090.
    Type of Request: Revision.
    Number of Respondents: 16,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 16,000 (4,000 quarterly).
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 4,000.
    Needs and Uses: The Navy Chief of Information (CHINFO) requires 
this recurrent information collection to fulfill its mandate under 
Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) Instruction 5726.8C, 
``Outreach: America's Navy,'' which requires providing public affairs 
advice to the Secretary of the Navy and the OPNAV. To provide informed, 
strategic counsel, CHINFO must continuously assess the public 
communication environment, track public understanding of the U.S. Navy 
and its operations, and monitor recent trends that affect public 
perception. This empirical brand and opinion research is necessary to 
evaluate current public perceptions, advise senior U.S. Navy leadership 
on how emerging global issues will be received, and plan strategic 
communication strategies around the release of information.
    CHINFO uses the quantitative data collected quarterly from 
representative online panels to evaluate public knowledge, 
favorability, capability perception, and engagement with the Navy. 
These insights allow CHINFO to adjust its public communication efforts, 
address areas of low awareness or misunderstanding, and brief senior 
leaders on national sentiment regarding

defense capabilities, spending, and emerging threats.
