# 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.

*Annual Responses:*                     10,000.                

*Average Burden per Response:*                     25 minutes.
