# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    Information collection is required to                           ( print page 30921)                        satisfy the requirements in Section 549 of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which requires the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study to identify initial entry points through which military family members may seek information or support relating to domestic abuse or child abuse and neglect. The study is an environmental scan and is not intended to be an exhaustive investigation. Military Community Advocacy, Military Community and Family Policy, has authorized Deloitte Consulting to collect information in response to this congressionally mandated task as stipulated in Technical Direction Document 0008, under the Common Services Effort core contract (Contract Number HDQMWR-20-F-0035). The information collection will contribute to DoD and the United States Congress' objective and efforts to improve the prevention of and response to family and interpersonal violence and maladaptive behavior. The end result will be an itemized list of existing Armed Forces or DoD initial entry points through which military family members may seek information or support relating to domestic abuse and child abuse and neglect and the identification of other existing or potential routes through which such family members may seek information or support. The Secretary of Defense will provide these results to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives not later than one year after the date of enactment of the FY 2022 NDAA.
