SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Challenges of Operational 

Environments Study; OMB Control 

Number: 0703–COPE. 

Needs and Uses: The Challenges of 

Operational Environments Study is a 

longitudinal study that will assess 

stressors associated with different 

operational environments and their 

effect on mental and behavioral health. 

Because the operational environment of 

the Commands involved will change 

over time, the survey that is being 

submitted for approval has been 

designed to adapt similarly. The base 

survey will remain the same at every 

time point, while separate modules will 

be added according to a pre-determined 

phases (i.e., maintenance period, sea 

trials, homeport shift, deployment, and 

post-deployment). Because the crew of 

the ships will change over time and 

participation is voluntary, some 

respondents may complete the survey at 

multiple time points, whereas others 

may complete it just once. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Annual Burden Hours: 4,167. 

Number of Respondents: 5,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 2. 

Annual Responses: 10,000.

Title; Associated Form; and OMB

Needs and Uses: The purpose of DON 

military awards is to provide deserving 

members of the Naval Service 

recognition for qualifying acts of valor 

or non-combat heroism, for 

exceptionally meritorious achievement 

or service, and for arduous or otherwise 

special service. Nominations for 

Personal Military Decorations are 

submitted on the OPNAV 1650/3 for 

Service Members (active duty, retired, 

and veterans), Foreign Military, and

package must include an Award

serving under orders on active duty. As 

an exception to the general policy, when 

not on active duty NROTC midshipmen 

are eligible for Personal Military 

Decorations for acts of non-combat 

heroism on the same basis as inactive 

members of the Navy Reserve. If a 

decoration is approved, the referral 

Member of Congress (MoC) will be 

informed and the Navy or Marine Corps 

will make arrangements for an 

appropriate presentation ceremony. If 

the nomination, or request for upgrade, 

is disapproved, the MoC will be 

informed and provided the reason(s) for 

disapproval. The authority to complete

Abstract: The Early Childhood 

Longitudinal Study (ECLS) program, 

conducted by the National Center for

Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of 

the U.S. Department of Education (ED),

ECLS program studies deliver national 

data on children’s status at birth and at 

various points thereafter; children’s 

transitions to nonparental care, early 

care and education programs, and 

school; and children’s experiences and 

growth through the elementary grades. 

The Early Childhood Longitudinal 

Study, Kindergarten Class of 2023–24 

(ECLS–K:2024) is the fourth cohort in 

the series of early childhood
