leadership, the Military Services, and 

Congress, the survey needs to be 

completed by May 2021 to be able to 

present results to leadership by the end 

of 2021. That will also allow the results 

to be shared with the Department and 

Congress in the DoD SAPRO Annual 

Report as they have been in previous 

cycles. Data will be aggregated and 

reported triennially in perpetuity. 

Ultimately, the study will provide a 

report to Congress and all of the data, 

programs, and computational details 

necessary for replication and peer 

review. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Annual burden hours: 1,667. 

Number of Respondents: 5,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 5,000. 

Average Burden per Response: 20 

minutes. 

Frequency: Every 3 years. 

The target population for this survey 

will be all SARCs, VAs, and SVCs/VLCs 

who are either Active Duty, Reserves/ 

National Guard, or a DoD civilian 

employee. The survey will solicit 

insights into characteristics of SAPR 

programs to better understand how 

responders are trained for their position 

and their perceptions of how well their 

program is supported and executed. 

The full online survey system will be 

hosted internally on OPA contractor 

servers. Participants will receive email 

communications notifying them about 

the importance of the survey, the 

confidential nature of the data 

collection, how the data will be used, 

and how to access the website. 

Respondents will be given a unique link 

and passcode to enter the survey in all 

email communications. They will 

receive up to no more than seven emails 

during the survey fielding. The 

reminder emails will be sent only to 

those selected sample members who 

have not yet responded to the survey or 

who are not active refusers. Once they 

complete the questions on the survey, 

there is a submit button to send their 

response. 

OPA weights the eligible respondents 

in order to make inferences about the 

entire population of SAPR Personnel. 

The weighting methodology utilizes 

standard weighting processes.

AGENCY: The Office of the Under 

Secretary of Defense for Personnel and 

Readiness, Department of Defense 

(DoD). 

ACTION: Information collection notice. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Office of the Under Secretary of Defense 

for Personnel and Readiness, 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 August 24, 2021. 

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: The DoD cannot receive written

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 change, including any 

personal identifiers or contact

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 Office of the 

Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel

Washington, DC 20301, Room 2C548A, 

Kathryn E. Purinton, 703–571–0106. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Involuntary Allotment 

Application; DD Form 2653; OMB 

Control Number 0704–0367. 

Needs and Uses: This collection of 

information is in response to requests 

for involuntary allotments. Before 

responding to a request, the responsible 

government official must have 

information that identifies both the 

applicant and the member against 

whom the involuntary allotment is 

sought; proves that the request is based 

on a valid court judgment; shows that 

the judgment comports with the 

provision of the Soldiers and Sailors 

Civil Relief Act (SCRA); and enables 

consideration for whether exigencies of 

military duty caused the absence of the 

member from a judicial proceeding 

upon which the judgment is based. With 

the exception of information concerning 

exigencies of military duty, an applicant 

for an involuntary allotment must 

provide required information before a 

government official can act on the 

applicant’s request. The information 

from the DD Form 2653 is used by 

DFAS officials to determine whether an 

involuntary allotment should be 

established against the pay of a member 

of the Armed Forces. The information is 

used to provide government reviewing 

officials with necessary information to 

ensure that both the law and due 

process considerations are accounted 

for, including information sufficient for 

a decision maker to determine that the 

request is based on a valid judgment 

and that the SCRA has been complied 

with. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Annual Burden Hours: 1,392 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 2,783. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 2,783. 

Average Burden per Response: 30 

minutes. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Dated: June 16, 2021.
