SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: 2021 Active Duty Spouse
Survey, OMB Control Number 0704–
0604.
Needs and Uses: The DoD Survey of
Active Duty Spouse Survey (ADSS) is
the primary source for reliable and
generalizable data on the effects of
military life on military spouses and
their families and the effectiveness of
current programs and policies related to
military families. The survey is
designed to enhance understanding of
how spouse and family resilience
impact force readiness and retention
and is also an indicator informing the
effectiveness of programs and policies
under the purview of DoD’s Military
Community and Family Policy (MC&FP)
Department. Without this biennial
survey, DoD would not have current
data to guide limited resources to the
appropriate programs, policies, and
services related to military spouses,
their families and ultimately Service
members.
This survey provides an opportunity
for military spouses to directly expand
policy maker’s knowledge by sharing
opinions on issues that directly affect
them. Success of current efforts and
shortfalls in programs and policies are
identified through this biennial survey.
These survey results ensure decisions
based on current and statistically
reliable data.
The legislation authorizing the
USD(P&R) to conduct these surveys is
provided under 10 United States Code
(U.S.C.), Sections 136, 1782 and 2358,
and 37 U.S.C., Section 1008(b).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Annual Burden Hours: 18,175.
Number of Respondents: 72,700.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 72,700.
Average Burden per Response: 15
minutes.
Frequency: One time.
The Office of People Analytics (OPA)
will administer the 2021 Active Duty
Spouse Survey (ADSS) to active duty
spouses of Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
and Air Force members who are below
flag rank. Active duty spouses will
receive one of two versions of the ADSS,
either a four-question supplemental
ADSS or a full ADSS with 74 questions.
Only spouses selected as part of the
random sample will be asked to
complete the full ADSS. The full ADSS

quantitative results are generalizable to
the entire active duty spouse
population, while the supplemental
ADSS results will be analyzed for
qualitative patterns and themes.
OPA uses a sampling tool developed
by the Research Triangle Institute (RTI)
to determine the sample size needed to
achieve 95% confidence and an
associated precision of 5% or less on
each reporting category domain. We
select a single-stage, non-proportional
stratified random sample to ensure
statistically adequate expected number
of responses for the reporting domains.
OPA uses Service, paygrade, gender,
and family status to define the initial
strata. We collapse these strata when
there are fewer than 200 individuals in
the stratum. OPA weights the eligible
respondents in order to make inferences
about the entire population of active
duty spouses. The weighting
methodology utilizes standard
weighting processes.
The full ADSS and supplemental
ADSS contain two matching questions
which will be used to gauge potential
differences between the scientifically
sampled and weighted ADSS responses
and the convenience sample responding
to the supplemental survey. At the end
of the supplemental short survey,
spouses will be asked if they would like
to voluntarily provide their personal
email address to be contacted for future
spouse surveys.
The supplemental ADSS and full
ADSS are administered via the web. The
full ADSS also includes a paper survey
option and QR code link to the survey
to maximize response rates.
Respondents may access the survey via
the web on a device they select. The
web survey will be administered on
proprietary software developed by
OPA’s operations contractor, Data
Recognition Corporation (DRC).
Digitally signed emails, electronic files,
and web-based technology will be used
for respondent communications and for
data collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: Trusted Capital Digital
Marketplace Application; OMB Control
Number 0704–0596.
Type of Request: Extension.
Number of Respondents: 300.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 300.
Average Burden per Response: 90
minutes.
Annual Burden Hours: 450.
Needs and Uses: Per the authority
vested in the Secretary of Defense
(SECDEF) by Section 1711 of the
National Defense Authorization Act of
2018, the Office of the Under Secretary
of Defense for Acquisition and
Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)) has
proposed a ‘‘Trusted Capital’’ initiative
in the form of a public-private
partnership designed to convene trusted
sources of private capital with
innovative companies critical to the
defense industrial base (DIB) and
national security. The initiative
includes establishment of a Trusted
Capital Digital Marketplace (TCDM) to
facilitate business relationships between
eligible investors (‘‘Capital Providers’’)
and eligible small and medium-sized
businesses that have been ‘‘downselected’’ by Department of Defense
(DoD) Components based on relevancy,
technical merit, business viability, or
innovativeness (‘‘Capability Providers’’).
The COVID–19 pandemic highlighted
the criticality of the security and
resiliency of defense supply chains. The
Federal emergency enabled DoD to
accelerate initiatives to identify
constraints and risks in our supply
chains that were initially identified in
the Executive Order (E.O.) 13806 report,
which was published in 2018. One of
the risk archetypes identified in the
report is foreign dependency on capital
and supply chains. Although DoD will
always have a diverse, domestic and
international supply chain, we
recognize that this comes with some
risk. COVID–19 magnified that risk and
the difficulties of offshore sources of
capital and supply in times of global
emergencies. The OUSD(A&S) Trusted
Capital program offers critical
technology companies an alternative to
adversarial capital. To accomplish this
important national security mission the
Trusted Capital program requires the
ability to gather data required to
conduct national security and supply
chain due-diligence to prioritize
‘‘trusted’’ sources of commercial capital
to offset direct financial distress in the
DIB and support our partners affected

by the virus with investments and local
job creation. Information collected will
be used in determining an applicant’s
eligibility for TCDM participation.
Parties will complete an electronic
application and be subjected to a due
diligence screening process to assess for
adversarial foreign ownership,
influence, or control—as well as other
national security risks. In the event
additional information is necessary to
process an application, additional
inquiries may be sent to the applicant.
Applicants that receive a favorable due
diligence screening adjudication by
OUSD(A&S) will be approved for TCDM
participation. In addition to initial
application requirements, participants
will be subject to continuous reporting
obligations.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
