Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Office of the Under Secretary of Defense 

for Personnel and Readiness announces 

a proposed public information 

collection and seeks public comment on 

the provisions thereof. Comments are 

invited on: whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed information collection; ways 

to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To 

request more information on this 

proposed information collection or to 

obtain a copy of the proposal and 

associated collection instruments, 

please write to, Assistant Secretary of 

Defense for Health Affairs, 1200 Defense

Kimberly Lahm, 703–681–8184,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Understanding Service 

Member Experiences with Family 

Planning; OMB Control Number: 0704– 

SMFP. 

Needs and Uses: The recent Supreme 

Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson 

Women’s Health removed the 

Constitutional right to abortion. In its 

wake, several states banned or severely 

restricted access to abortion, and several 

more states are poised to do so. In 

addition to restricting access to 

abortion, the Dobbs decision raises 

questions about miscarriage and 

infertility care. Several of the states that 

have severely restricted access to or 

banned abortion are also home to large 

military instillations. This raises 

questions about service member access 

to abortion care, as well as a range of 

family planning options. There is little 

existing research on service members’ 

experiences with family planning. 

Building on prior experience 

executing the DoD Women’s 

Reproductive Health Survey (WRHS) 

and other research on the health and 

health behaviors of service members 

(e.g., the Health Related Behaviors 

Survey [HRBS]), RAND National 

Defense Research Institute (NDRI) will 

conduct a series of focus groups with 

men and women across DoD service 

branches (Air Force, Army, Marine 

Corps, Navy, and Space Force) to 

augment this survey data and better 

understand how service members 

experience family planning both within 

the Military Health System and via 

community providers. These focus 

groups will also gather information on 

service members’ experiences with any 

new policies that the DoD unveils in 

response to the Dobbs decision. 

This study will highlight areas related 

to family planning that may threaten the 

DoD’s ability to field a ready and lethal 

force. It will also point to areas where 

DoD may need to augment or develop 

care, programs, services, or policies that 

provide needed reproductive health care 

and family planning services to the 

force in order to maintain and enhance 

health, readiness, retention, and 

lethality. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

households. 

Annual Burden Hours: 4,800. 

Number of Respondents: 4,800. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 4,800. 

Average Burden per Response: 1 hour. 

Frequency: Once. 

The purpose of the data collection 

effort is to better understand service 

members experiences with family 

planning services provided by both DoD 

and community providers. Respondents 

include approximately 4,800 active duty 

service members from all service 

branches (below the rank of flag officer) 

at 24 CONUS installations. Data will be 

collected via 60-minute focus group. 

These focus groups will be in-person, 

conducted separately by gender (i.e., 

men vs women) and rank (i.e., E1–E4, 

E5–E6, E7–E9/W1–W5, O1–O3, O4–O5, 

O6). Each group will be led by one 

facilitator and include one notetaker. 

Consent will be obtained verbally at the 

beginning of each session and each 

participant will receive an information 

sheet containing the consent 

information. A recruitment flyer will be 

used to assist installation POCs with 

recruitment. 

Dedicated notetakers will take 

verbatim notes during each focus group 

and discussion. These notes will be 

immediately cleaned to remove any 

identifying information (e.g., names, 

titles). Notes will be entered into a 

COTS software package for analyzing 

qualitative data (e.g., NVivo) and will be 

stored on RAND-issued laptops and 

RAND servers, both of which require 

two-factor authentication. A Data Safety 

Plan has been approved for the study. 

A six-item post-focus group survey 

will also be given to participants. The 

purpose is to collect sociodemographic 

and military characteristics that will be 

used to understand the 

representativeness of participants 

compared to the larger active-duty force. 

The survey will be paper-and-pencil 

and is anonymous. It should take no 

more than two minutes to complete. 

Data from the survey will be handentered into Excel and analyzed using 

the same software.

natural gas, to non-free trade agreement 

nations. Southern LNG filed the 

Application under section 3 of the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Southern 

LNG is currently authorized to export 

domestically-produced LNG in a 

volume equivalent to 130 Bcf/yr of 

natural gas 1 to any countries with 

which the United States has not entered 

into a free trade agreement (FTA) 

requiring national treatment for trade in 

natural gas and with which trade is not 

prohibited by U.S. law or policy (nonFTA countries), through December 31, 

2050, pursuant to NGA section 3(a).2

Southern LNG is authorized to export 

this LNG from the existing Elba Island 

Terminal. 

In this Application, filed in Docket 

No. 23–109–LNG, Southern LNG states 

that it filed an application in April 2023 

with the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (FERC) for authorization to 

modify its existing liquefaction facilities 

and install and operate a new 

condensate plant and liquid nitrogen 

vaporizers at the Elba Island Terminal. 

The modifications would increase the 

Terminal’s authorized maximum LNG 

production capacity to 158.25 Bcf/yr of 

natural gas. The requested increase in 

authorized volume would align 

Southern LNG’s total authorized volume 

with the additional volume that the 

Terminal could handle with FERC’s 

approval. Thus, in light of the 

modifications, Southern LNG asks DOE 

to authorize the export of an additional 

28.25 Bcf/yr of natural gas in the form 

of LNG from the Elba Island Terminal to 

non-FTA countries. 

Southern LNG seeks the authorization 

on its own behalf and as agent for other 

entities who themselves hold title to the 

LNG. Southern LNG requests the 

authorization for a term to extend 

through December 31, 2050.

Southern LNG’s Application, posted on

DOE Evaluation 

In reviewing Southern LNG’s 

Application, DOE will consider any 

issues required by law or policy. DOE 

will consider domestic need for the 

natural gas, as well as any other issues 

determined to be appropriate, including 

whether the arrangement is consistent 

with DOE’s policy of promoting 

competition in the marketplace by 

allowing commercial parties to freely 

negotiate their own trade arrangements. 

As part of this analysis, DOE will 

consider the study entitled, 

Macroeconomic Outcomes of Market 

Determined Levels of U.S. LNG Exports 

(2018 LNG Export Study),3 and DOE’s 

response to public comments received 

on that Study.4

Additionally, DOE will consider the 

following environmental documents: 

• Addendum to Environmental

Review Documents Concerning Exports 

of Natural Gas From the United States, 

79 FR 48132 (Aug. 15, 2014); 5

• Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas

Perspective on Exporting Liquefied 

Natural Gas From the United States, 79 

FR 32260 (June 4, 2014); 6 and 

• Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas

Perspective on Exporting Liquefied 

Natural Gas From the United States: 

2019 Update, 84 FR 49278 (Sept. 19, 

2019), and DOE’s response to public 

comments received on that study.7

Parties that may oppose this 

Application should address these issues 

and documents in their comments and/ 

or protests, as well as other issues 

deemed relevant to the Application. 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., 

requires DOE to give appropriate 

consideration to the environmental 

effects of its proposed decisions. No 

final decision will be issued in this 

proceeding until DOE has met its NEPA 

responsibilities.
