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.
    Average Burden per Response: 25 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.

    Dated: November 14, 2023.
