SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Air Force Family Integrated 

Results & Statistical Tracking 

(AFFIRST); OMB Control Number 0701– 

0070. 

Type of Request: Extension. 

Number of Respondents: 9,375. 

Responses per Respondent: 4. 

Annual Responses: 37,500. 

Average Burden per Response: 15 

minutes. 

Annual Burden Hours: 9,375. 

Needs and Uses: Information 

collection in the Air Force Family 

Integrated Results & Statistical Tracking 

(AFFIRST) system is necessary to 

maintain a record of customer service 

data, determine the effectiveness of 

Military and Family Readiness Center 

(M&FRC) activities and services, and 

provide reports reflecting impact of 

services on mission and family 

readiness to leadership. The system is 

also used as a management tool for 

statistical analysis, tracking, reporting, 

evaluating program effectiveness, and 

conducting research. This information 

collection is authorized by 10 U.S.C. 

9013, Secretary of the Air Force; 

Department of the Air Force Instruction 

36–3009, Military and Family Readiness 

Centers; and E.O. 9397 (SSN), as 

amended. 

The respondents for the collection are 

M&FRC customers, including military 

personnel and family members, DoD 

civilians, and individuals of the general 

public authorized to use Air Force 

M&FRCs. Customers verbally provide 

M&FRC staff the required information 

that is entered into AFFIRST. M&FRC 

staff can also obtain required customer 

information by searching the Defense 

Enrollment Eligibility Reporting 

Systems (DEERS) system for 

documentation of required information 

in the AFFIRST information collection 

system as required by DAFI 36–3009. 

The AFFIRST web-based, data 

gathering, service delivery management 

system was established to provide 

timely information about daily 

activities, outcome-based results, and 

resource utilization of Center services 

throughout the DAF. All Center staff 

members will utilize this system for 

data gathering, record keeping, and 

information management. Only M&FRC 

employees have user accounts and only 

they are authorized to enter customer 

demographic and service delivery data 

into the AFFIRST customer record. 

M&FRC customers do not have access to 

the system to enter their information 

directly. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army 

Notice of Availability of a Draft 

Programmatic Environmental 

Assessment for the Energy Efficient 

Rigid Wall Module and the 

Expeditionary Platoon Life Support 

Module 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of availability and 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The United States (U.S.) 

Army announces the availability of a 

draft programmatic environmental 

assessment (PEA) for the 

implementation of two Force Provider 

containerized basecamp systems: the 

Energy Efficient Rigid Wall Module 

(E2RWM) and the Expeditionary 

Platoon Life Support Module (EPLSM). 

The draft PEA analyzes the potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

the design, production, testing, training, 

fielding, demilitarization, and disposal 

of the E2RWM and EPLSM. This notice 

of availability (NOA) announces the 

start of the public review and comment 

period. After the U.S. Army addresses 

public comments submitted during the 

review period, a final PEA will be 

published. The PEA will inform the U.S. 

Army’s decision regarding the 

deployment and use of the Force 

Provider systems. 

DATES: Comments must be received 30 

Days After Publication in the Federal 

Register of this NOA to be considered 

as part of the review process for this 

proposed action. 

ADDRESSES: The draft PEA can be found 

on the Program Executive Office,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Proposed Action: The draft PEA 

analyzes the Proposed Action, which is 

to implement the Force Provider 

E2RWM and EPLSM systems where 

needed to support various Army 

missions. Force Provider systems 

provide a modular, containerized base 

camp for personnel in the field, that can 

be quickly assembled to support shortand long-term missions. Force Provider 

modules and support systems have been 

used to support Army operations in 

places like Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, 

Uzbekistan, Iraq, and Kuwait, and to 

support foreign militaries. Within the 

U.S., Force Provider modules have been 

used to support natural disaster 

response and personnel training 

exercises. The draft PEA also analyzed 

the No Action alternative. 

The Army has prepared this analysis 

as a broad Program-wide evaluation of 

the E2RWM and EPLSM systems. As a 

programmatic analysis, it is intended to 

streamline coordination and 

environmental analysis required for sitespecific actions in the future. When a 

decision is made to deploy at a 

particular location, the Army would 

conduct follow-on, site-specific 

environmental analysis as required. 

Availability of the draft PEA: The 

draft PEA and associated information 

are available on the Program Executive 

Office, Combat Support & Combat 

Service Support PdM FSS website at:

proposal for collection of information 

under the provisions of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. 

DATES: Consideration will be given to all

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and Omb 

Number: Overseas Citizen Population 

Survey; OMB Control Number 0704– 

0539. 

Type of Request: Revision. 

Number of Respondents: 18,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 18,000. 

Average Burden per Response: 15 

minutes. 

Annual Burden Hours: 4,500. 

Needs and Uses: The information 

collection requirement is necessary for 

the Federal Voting Assistance Program 

(FVAP), an agency of the DoD, to fulfill 

the mandate of the Uniformed and 

Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act 

(UOCAVA of 1986 [52 U.S.C. 10301]). 

UOCAVA requires a statistical analysis 

report to the President and Congress on 

the effectiveness of assistance under the 

Act, a statistical analysis of voter 

participation, and a description of State/ 

Federal cooperation. The data obtained 

through this study will allow FVAP to 

refine its methodology for estimating the 

number of overseas U.S. civilians who 

are eligible to vote and who have 

registered and participated in the past, 

and using these estimates to address the 

question of whether the registration and 

voting propensity of the overseas 

civilian population differs from that of 

a comparable domestic or military 

population. Conducting this research 

will help FVAP meet its Federal and 

congressional mandates in terms of 

reporting annually on its activities and 

on overall voter registration and 

participation rates after each 

Presidential election. The data obtained 

through this study is also intended to 

provide insights into existing barriers to 

UOCAVA voting and recommendations 

for addressing these challenges.
