career plans, retention decisions, 

morals, and commitments, and 

historically provide the ability to 

evaluate the impact of policies and 

programs with regards to readiness and 

retention. 

DATES: This system of records is 

effective upon publication; however, 

comments on the Routine Uses will be 

accepted on or before August 27, 2021. 

The Routine Uses are effective at the 

close of the comment period. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number and title, 

by either of the following methods: 

Federal Rulemaking Portal: https://

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 and 

docket number for this Federal Register 

document. The general policy for 

comments and other submissions from

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Survey Data and Assessment, 

DHRA 03, system of records maintains 

data about individuals who completed 

DoD-sponsored survey questionnaires or 

participated in DoD-sponsored focus 

group data collections, including 

military members, military spouses, 

civilians, persons eligible for DoD 

benefits (including retirees), and Service 

Academy students. It also maintains 

data about individuals involved in 

market research studies, including men 

and women of military age, and 

applicants to the military services. 

This system of records uses this 

information to assess characteristics of 

DoD personnel and households to 

support manpower and benefits 

research; to assess DoD personnel 

attitudes, opinions, and or experiences 

related to social issues; and to assess 

attitudes toward joining the military and 

reasons for leaving. This information is 

used to provide the DoD with fast, 

accurate assessments of the attitudes 

and opinions of the entire DoD 

community in order to evaluate existing 

programs/policies, establish baseline 

measures before implementing new 

programs/policies, and monitor the 

progress of programs/policies and their 

effects on the total force. 

DoD SORNs have been published in 

the Federal Register and are available 

from the address in FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT or at the Defense 

Privacy, Civil Liberties, and 

Transparency Division website at

II. Privacy Act 

Under the Privacy Act, a ‘‘system of 

records’’ is a group of records under the 

control of an agency from which 

information is retrieved by the name of 

an individual or by some identifying 

number, symbol, or other identifying 

particular assigned to the individual. In 

the Privacy Act, an individual is defined 

as a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent 

resident. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) 

and Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) Circular No. A–108, DPCLTD has 

provided a report of this system of 

records to the OMB and to Congress.

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

To maintain information collected by 

DoD through surveys, focus groups, and 

other information collection 

methodologies, in order to (1) assess 

characteristics of DoD personnel and 

households to support manpower and 

benefits research; (2) assess DoD 

personnel attitudes, opinions, and/or 

experiences related to social issues; and 

(3) assess attitudes toward joining the 

military and reasons for leaving. This 

system of records supports the 

collection of fast, accurate assessments 

of the attitudes and opinions of the 

entire DoD community in order to 

evaluate existing programs/policies, 

establish baseline measures before 

implementing new programs/policies, 

and monitor progress of programs/ 

policies and their effects on the total 

force. The data is also used to support 

manpower research sponsored by DoD 

and the military services. Survey results 

provide direct feedback on key 

Departmental strategic indicators. These 

indicators provide primary data on 

personnel career plans, discrimination, 

sexual harassment/assault, suicide 

ideation, retention decisions, morale, 

and commitment, and historically 

provide the ability to evaluate the 

impact of policies and programs with 

regard to readiness and retention. The 

surveys also serve as benchmarks by 

which senior DoD officials can track 

trends over time.

SYSTEM:

questionnaires or participated in focus 

group data collections, including 

Service members, Service member 

spouses, civilians, persons eligible for

including men and women of military 

age, and applicants to the military 

services.
