The frequency of sex offender 

registration with the Provost Marshal 

Office (PMO) is not under the control of 

any Army law enforcement personnel, it 

is the responsibility of the sex offender 

who lives or works on the Army 

installations to follow Army policy and 

report to the PMO within 3 working 

days of assignment to the installation. 

Sex offenders could live or work on an 

Army installation and live in 

government housing near schools or 

daycare without Army law 

enforcement’s knowledge. Army law 

enforcement would be less able to 

complete its mission to provide security 

and law enforcement to safeguard 

personnel living and working on Army 

installations.

POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

The Netherlands—CH–47 Pilot Training 

and Logistics Support 

The Government of the Netherlands 

has requested support for the Royal 

Netherlands Air Force CH–47 training 

program, to include fuel; base operating 

support; facilities; publications and 

technical documentation; pilot training; 

personnel training and training 

equipment; weapon system and 

software support; U.S. Government and 

contractor technical, engineering, and 

logistics personnel services; and other 

related elements of logistical and 

program support. The total overall 

estimated value is $125 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security of 

the United States by helping to improve 

the security of a NATO ally which is an 

important force for the political stability 

and economic progress in Europe. 

The proposed sale will improve the 

Netherlands’ capability to maintain a set 

of highly trained and deployment-ready 

Royal Netherlands Air Force Chinook 

units via continued training activities at 

Fort Hood, Texas. This training includes 

the AMERICAN FALCON exercise, 

which serves as a certifying event for 

Dutch military units and personnel to 

deploy abroad, often supporting U.S.- 

led coalition operations. The 

Netherlands will have no difficulty 

absorbing this training and support into 

its armed forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

This proposed sale does not contain 

any principal contractor. There are no 

known offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

additional U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to the 

Netherlands. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

Number: Workplace and Gender 

Relations Survey- Civilian; OMB 

Control Number 0704–WGRC. 

Type of Request: Regular. 

Number of Respondents: 79,289. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 79,289. 

Average Burden per Response: 30 

minutes. 

Annual Burden Hours: 39,645 hours. 

Needs and Uses: The WGRC fulfills 

the Congressional mandate outlined in 

Title 10 U.S.C. 481a for a biennial 

survey assessment of gender relations in 

the DoD civilian workplace. The 

mandate requires that the survey (1) 

provides indicators of positive and 

negative trends for professional and 

personal relationships between male 

and female employees; (2) estimates the 

prevalence of unwanted gender-related 

behaviors for DoD civilian employees 

within the preceding fiscal year; (3) 

examines the effectiveness of policies 

designed to improve professional 

relationships between male and female 

employees; and (4) examines the 

effectiveness of current processes for 

complaints and investigations 

concerning unwanted gender-related 

behaviors, including sexual assault, 

sexual harassment, and gender 

discrimination. The legal requirements 

for the WGRC can be found in the 

following: 

• FY15 NDAA, Section 1073 

• 10 U.S.C., Section 481a 

• 10 U.S.C., Section 136 

• 10 U.S.C., Section 2358 

• Public Law (PL) 111–383, Sections 

1602 and 1631; 113–291, Section 1073 

These legal requirements mandate 

that the WGRC solicit information on 

gender issues, including issues relating 

to sexual assault, sexual harassment, 

and gender discrimination, as well as 

the climate in the Department for 

forming professional relationships 

between male and female employees. 

They also give the Department authority 

to conduct such surveys under the 

guidance of the USD(P&R). 

Overall, the results of the survey will 

assess progress, identify shortfalls, and 

revise policies and programs as needed 

related to issues directly affecting DoD 

civilian employees. Data from this 

survey will be presented to the Office of 

the Under Secretary of Defense for 

Personnel and Readiness (OUSD[P&R]), 

Congress, and DoD policy and program 

offices to assess and improve policies, 

programs, practices, and training related 

to gender relations in the DoD informed 

by current and statistically reliable 

information. Analysis will include 

OPA’s standard products: A results and 

trends report (a set of relative frequency 

distributions of each question, and 

cross-tabulations of survey questions by 

key stratifying variables), briefing slides, 

reports highlighting key findings, and a 

statistical methodology report. Ad hoc 

analyses requested by the policy office 

sponsors and other approved 

organizations may be conducted as 

needed and based on available staff. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
