Needs and Uses: The information
collection requirement is necessary to
obtain information on the reintegration
needs of combat-injured Airmen from
the perspectives of their primary
supporters, the family members and
friends whom the Airmen nominate as
their most frequent provider of help to
deal with problems. Anecdotal reports
from Air Force program case managers
suggest that these individuals represent
an important source of support to
combat-injured Airmen as they
reintegrate into civilian life and offer
unique information on the challenges
encountered by these Airmen during the
process of reintegration. This
information collection will be the first
large-scale, systematic effort to assess
primary supporters’ perspectives on
combat-injured Airmen’s reintegration
needs. It will also assess primary
supporters’ perceptions of the
effectiveness of the two key Air Force
programs that serve combat-injured
Airmen, the Air Force Wounded
Warrior Program and Air Force
Recovery Care Coordinator Program, in
addressing the needs of combat-injured
Airmen. This information collection
will provide a valuable window into the
social support provided to the Airmen,
yield insights into how existing sources
of support can be strengthened and
leveraged to facilitate the Airmen’s
reintegration into civilian life, and
inform Air Force program
improvements to address combatinjured Airmen’s reintegration needs.

Summary of Information Collection
This project is being funded by the
U.S. Air Force and conducted by the
RAND Corporation. Respondents will be
primary supporters of combat-injured
Airmen served by the Air Force
Wounded Warrior Program. These
individuals are nominated by combatinjured Airmen as the family member or
friend to whom the Airman most often

turns for help with problems. All
primary supporters nominated by
combat-injured Airmen will be invited
to participate in the information
collection (i.e., survey administration),
which will occur no more than semiannually in each year over a three-year
period. Primary supporters who choose
to participate will be presented with the
option of completing the information
collection on the telephone or on the
Web. The collection instrument assesses

primary supporters’ perceptions of
Airmen’s well-being, primary
supporters’ own well-being, provision of
social support to the Airmen, and
perceptions of the effectiveness of
existing Air Force programs at meeting
the needs of combat-injured Airmen.
The proposed project will utilize a
cohort-sequential design. Thus, we will
recruit the first cohort of primary
supporters and follow up with them at
each subsequent survey administration
E:\FR\FM\15MRN1.SGM
15MRN1
srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
13996
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 15, 2011 / Notices
until the end of the three-year period. At
each subsequent survey administration,
we will also recruit a new cohort of
primary supporters nominated by
combat-injured Airmen who have
become eligible for services from the Air
Force Wounded Warrior Program since
the nomination of the previous cohort of
primary supporters. We plan on a total
of five waves of the information
collection and thus five cohorts of
primary supporters over the three-year
period. Based on previous research, we
expect a response rate of 86% among
the primary supporters nominated by
combat-injured Airmen and a retention
rate of 88% from each wave of the
information collection to the next.
We expect the nomination of 334
primary supporters for the first
information collection and, assuming a
response rate of 86%, we anticipate 287
completed primary supporter surveys
for the first (baseline) information
collection. At the time of the second
information collection, we will
administer the survey again to the first
cohort of primary supporters and survey
a second, new cohort of primary
supporters nominated by combatinjured Airmen who have recently been
accessed into the Air Force Wounded
Warrior Program. We anticipate the
retention of 88% of the 287 primary
supporters who completed the first
information collection, for a total of 253
primary supporters from Cohort 1 to be
followed up at the second wave of the
information collection. We also expect
the nomination of 94 additional primary
supporters during the interval in
between the first and second
information collections and thus,
assuming a response rate of 86%, 81
new primary supporters in the second
cohort completing the second
information collection. At each of the
three subsequent waves of the
information collection, we expect 73
primary supporters to be nominated by
combat-injured Airmen and, again
assuming a response rate of 86%, the
recruitment of 63 new primary
supporter respondents into the
information collection in the third,
fourth, and fifth cohorts.
Assuming these recruitment levels for
new cohorts at each wave of the
information collection and a retention
rate of 88% from one wave to the next,
we estimate a total of 557 unduplicated
respondents over the three-year period
(i.e., counting each respondent only
once, regardless of how many waves of
information collection they complete).
This total is the sum of the numbers of
respondents in each cohort at the first
wave of the information collection
completed by that cohort, i.e., the 287
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:50 Mar 14, 2011
Jkt 223001
respondents in Cohort 1 plus the 81
respondents in Cohort 2 plus the 63
respondents in Cohort 3, etc. The
information collection is estimated to
take 25 minutes or 25/60 hours per
response to complete. Assuming this
burden per response and a total of 1,748
responses over the three-year period
(sum of the number of responses
anticipated for each cohort, including
multiple responses from respondents)
results in a total estimated respondent
burden of 728 hours over the three-year
period. The estimated respondent
burden for the three-year period is
detailed in the above table.
If this information is not collected
from primary supporters of combatinjured Airmen, key needs of combatinjured Airmen may go ignored, and
critical leverage points for facilitating
Airmen’s adjustment may be
overlooked. This information collection
will inform Air Force program
improvements to bolster existing
supports and expand the array of
supports needed to promote combatinjured Airmen’s adjustment.

wave of the information collection completed by that cohort, i.e., the
287 respondents in Cohort 1 plus the 81 respondents in Cohort 2 plus
the 63 respondents in Cohort 3, etc. The information collection is
estimated to take 25 minutes or 25/60 hours per response to complete.
Assuming this burden per response and a total of 1,748 responses over
the three-year period (sum of the number of responses anticipated for
each cohort, including multiple responses from respondents) results in
a total estimated respondent burden of 728 hours over the three-year
period. The estimated respondent burden for the three-year period is
detailed in the above table.
If this information is not collected from primary supporters of
combat-injured Airmen, key needs of combat-injured Airmen may go
ignored, and critical leverage points for facilitating Airmen's
adjustment may be overlooked. This information collection will inform
Air Force program improvements to bolster existing supports and expand
the array of supports needed to promote combat-injured Airmen's
adjustment.
