    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to solicit and select a spouse for the volunteer Ombudsman position in 
Navy components. An Ombudsman is the spouse of an active duty or 
Selected Reserve member of the command, enlisted or officer. This 
requirement can be waived if, after a diligent search, no appropriate 
spouse volunteer is available. Family members, civilian employees 
affiliated with the command, and active-duty service members may be 
considered for a waiver. As part of the selection process, prospective 
Ombudsmen will be notified of the request for an interview by either 
the commanding officer or another member of the Command Support Team. 
Prospective Ombudsmen may be interviewed by phone, or in person with 
the commanding officer. The information collection is also necessary to 
provide Ombudsmen with program information; communicate during natural 
disasters and crisis; collect program contact numbers and workload 
data; and maintain records of program training received. Numbers 
provided from the collection help identify the issues and concern of 
the families, trends during deployment and identify training which may 
be beneficial to the command families.
