Evaluation and Utility Surveys—

Needs and Uses: The Defense 

Commissary Agency will conduct a 

variety of surveys on an as-needed basis. 

The survey population will include, but 

is not limited to, persons eligible to use 

the commissary throughout the world. 

The surveys will be used to assess the 

customer’s satisfaction with various 

aspects of the commissary operation and 

obtain their opinions of various 

commissary issues. Surveys will also be 

used to help determine individual 

commissary market potential and 

commissary size requirements. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households, Businesses or Other For 

Profit. 

Annual Burden Hours: 148 Hours. 

Number of Respondents: 6,633.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

(All respondents are authorized 

patrons by DoD regulations, unless 

otherwise described.) 

Commissary Sizing Survey 

Surveys will support commissary 

renovation and new construction. 

Survey results will be used to help 

determine market potential and 

associated commissary size 

requirements. 

Facility Site Decisions 

Surveys will support commissary site 

decisions. Where applicable, 

commissary user preference can be 

incorporated into the site location 

decision process. Patrons will input 

their answers to questions concerning 

where they would like a new facility 

located, as well as give their opinions 

and concerns that will affect their 

shopping experience. The survey results 

will also be used to estimate where the 

commissary users are located through 

the use of population density maps. 

Patron Migration Survey 

These surveys will aid in predicting 

the impact to commissaries that are near 

a closing commissary or a commissary 

that is undergoing some kind of 

transformation that may cause 

commissary users to migrate to an 

alternative nearby commissary. The 

results will be used to determine 

requirements for the nearby receiving 

commissaries. 

Commissary Operational Surveys 

These surveys will supply 

information on various processes within 

the commissaries. The surveyed 

population could be commissary 

customers, employees within the 

Agency, vendors, distributors, or 

contractors. Persons surveyed will not 

necessarily be authorized commissary 

users. 

Market Basket Price Surveys 

These surveys will be administered to 

commissary eligible personnel to assess 

their perception of our savings 

compared to local commercial 

supermarkets. 

Demographic Surveys 

This survey will be conducted, as 

needed, to assess the demographic 

make-up of commissary users. The 

results may be used in conjunction with 

population data to reveal differences in 

key demographics such as status, family 

size, distance from a commissary, age, 

service membership, and military grade.
