[Docket ID: USA-2022-HQ-0004]


Proposed Collection; Comment Request

AGENCY: Department of the Army, Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION: 60-Day information collection notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 
Department of the Army announces a proposed public information 
collection and seeks public comment on the provisions thereof. Comments 
are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information shall have practical utility; the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed 
information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the 
burden of the information collection on respondents, including through 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by April 
25, 2022.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by docket number and 
title, by any of the following methods:
    Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 
instructions for submitting comments.
    Mail: DoD cannot receive written comments at this time due to the 
COVID-19 pandemic. Comments should be sent electronically to the docket 
listed above.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency 
name, docket number and title for this Federal Register document. The 
general policy for comments and other submissions from members of the 
public is to make these submissions available for public viewing on the 
internet at http://www.regulations.gov as they are received without

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on this 
proposed information collection or to obtain a copy of the proposal and 
associated collection instruments, please write to the U.S. Army 
Research Institute, Building 90, 851 McClellan Ave., Fort Leavenworth, 
Kansas 66027, ATTN: Dr. Michele A. Calton, or call 913-684-9792.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Inclusion Policy Practice 
Decoupling Phase II; OMB Control Number 0702-0151.
    Needs and Uses: This information collection requirement is 
necessary to evaluate the statistical validity of a scientific model 
and associated measurement instrument. The model and instrument could 
be used by the Army for deeper understanding of how to improve 
inclusion policies and practices. Once all data collection is complete, 
the data will be analyzed to test hypotheses regarding our scientific 
and practical understanding of the relationships between diversity, 
inclusion, and organizational outcomes. Specifically, what are the 
relationships between alignment (or misalignment/decoupling) of 
inclusion policies and practices, diversity, and organizational 
outcomes; does alignment of inclusion policies and practices mediate 
organizational outcomes expected from diversity? This examination is 
the first of its kind and will contribute to the scientific 
understanding of inclusivity.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,500.
    Number of Respondents: 2,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 2,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 45 minutes.
    Frequency: Once.
