SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Recruiting, Retaining, and 

Promoting Servicemembers who 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
87414 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 241 / Monday, December 18, 2023 / Notices 

Identify as Hispanic or Latino/Latina; 

OMB Control Number: 0704–RPSS. 

Needs and Uses: Over the last several 

years, the Department of Defense (DoD) 

has been concerned about the force’s 

ethnic composition due to 

underrepresentation of Hispanic 

servicemembers in the senior grades 

across the Services. The National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 2022 (NDAA FY22), Section 572, 

also requires a study focused on the 

recruitment, retention, and promotion of 

servicemembers identifying as Hispanic. 

To address these items covered by the 

NDAA FY22, OUSD (P&R) Office for 

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI) 

has contracted with CNA to conduct a 

study to identify and address gaps in 

DoD’s understanding of the recruitment, 

retention, and career progression of 

Hispanic servicemembers; evaluate past 

efforts and initiatives by DoD and the 

Services aimed at increasing Hispanic 

representation; and identify key lessons 

learned or best practices that should 

inform future initiatives. As part of this 

study, CNA will conduct Servicespecific in-person and virtual focus 

groups with Active Duty 

Servicemembers in the Marine Corps, 

Army, Navy, Air Force, and Space 

Force. The voluntary focus groups will 

inquire about focus group participants’ 

opinions and experiences based on their 

military careers. The purpose of the 

focus groups is to better understand the 

challenges that Servicemembers face in 

recruiting, retention, and promotion, 

especially for those who identify as 

Hispanic or Latino/Latina. 

Additionally, Florida International 

University (FIU), a subcontractor to 

CNA on this study, will conduct a 

survey among eligible members of the 

general Hispanic population who are 

registered to vote in the United States, 

analyze the survey data, and produce a 

report detailing findings and 

recommendations for ODEI. The intent 

of the survey is to examine factors that 

influence the U.S. Hispanic 

population’s perceptions of military 

service in the U.S. Armed Services and 

to identify the root causes for the 

notable disparity in the recruitment, 

retention, and promotion of 

Servicemembers who identify as 

Hispanic. Participation in the survey 

will be voluntary. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households.
