their language skills. The NLSC 

identifies U.S. citizens who can provide 

high levels of proficiency in foreign 

languages and cultural expertise critical 

to national security for short-term 

temporary assignments when other 

resources are not available. The NLSC 

will fill gaps between requirements of 

DoD or other departments or agencies of 

the United States and available language 

skills where government employees are 

required or desired. The NLSC will 

reach out to U.S. citizens (age 18 or 

over) who can read, listen, speak, and 

write in English and read, listen, write 

and speak at least one other specified 

language, generally at or above skill 

level 3 as described by the proficiency 

guidelines of the Federal Interagency 

Language Roundtable (ILR). The DoD 

and the Intelligence Community 

agencies use these guidelines as the 

basis for language skill requirements 

identification, position descriptions, 

readiness indices and language bonus 

pay systems. Therefore, the ILR 

proficiency guidelines represent a 

common metric used by U.S. 

Government agencies as a basis for 

policy, planning and human capital 

decisions in operational, mission 

critical areas where language is 

required.

Number: Status of the Forces Survey of 

Reserve Component Members; OMB 

Control Number 0704–0616. 

Type of Request: Regular. 

Number of Respondents: 16,515. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 16,515. 

Average Burden per Response: 20 

minutes. 

Annual Burden Hours: 5,505 hours. 

Needs and Uses: The Status of Forces 

Reserve Survey (SOFS–R) is a DoD-wide 

survey of Reserve and National Guard 

used in evaluating existing policies and 

programs, establishing baseline 

measures before implementing new 

policies and programs, and monitoring 

the progress of policies/programs that 

make a difference in the lives of Reserve 

component members and their families. 

The survey assesses topics such as 

financial well-being, reintegration 

programs following activation/ 

deployment, outreach to civilian 

employers, employer support, family 

support programs, and benefits (i.e. 

education, commissary/exchange, 

health care), and suicide awareness. 

Data is aggregated by appropriate 

demographics, including Service, 

paygrade, gender, race/ethnicity, 

activation status, and other indicators. 

In order to be able to meet reporting 

requirements for DoD leadership, the 

Military Services, and Congress, the 

survey needs to be completed annually. 

As required by the National Defense 

Authorization Act, the results of this 

survey are used by each of the Service 

Secretaries to evaluate and update 

training. In addition, The Under 

Secretary of Defense for Personnel and 

Readiness uses the SOFS–R to suggest 

changes to services supporting Reserve 

component members’ ability to return to 

their families and their civilian jobs 

following activation/deployment as well 

as addressing retention, health care, and 

family life issues. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
