# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

*Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number:* Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) Family Needs Assessment; DD Form 3054; OMB Control Number 0704-0580.

*Needs and Uses:* Section 1781c of Title 10, U.S.C. requires the Office of Community Support for Military Families with Special Needs (OSN) to enhance and improve support for military families with special needs. In this effort, OSN and the four Services developed the DD Form 3054 Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) Family Needs Assessment (FNA) as standard documentation to guide assessment of needs, service planning and case transfer processes for the Family Support component of the EFMP. The EFMP FNA assists EFMP Family Support staff in identifying the needs of families and developing plans of action. The EFMP FNA addresses current differences in assessment processes and inconsistent transfer of cases across the Services. With this standardized form, installation-level EFMP Family Support Offices can provide a family support experience that is consistent across the Services and maintains continuity of services when military families with special needs have Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders to a Same-Service or Sister-Service location. DD form 3054 is used by EFMP Family Support staff in collaboration with families who request assistance in navigating resources and systems of support. The Form documents a family's needs and provides a plan for them to gain access to support and resources in the community which meets those needs. The Family Services Plan Addendum provides a plan of action and a way to track the progress towards goals set by the family with the assistance of the EFMP Family Support staff.

*Number of Respondents:* 20,000.
