SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: QuickCompass of Sexual
Assault Prevention and Response
Personnel (QSAPR), OMB Control
Number 0704–0603.
Needs and Uses: The QuickCompass
of Sexual Assault Prevention and
Response Personnel (QSAPR) assesses
perceived professional or other reprisal
or retaliation; access to sufficient
physical and mental health services as
a result of the nature of their work;
access to installation and unit
commanders; access to victims and
alleged offender’s immediate
commander; responsiveness of
commanders to Sexual Assault
Response Coordinators (SARCs);
support and services provided to sexual
assault victims; understanding of others
of the process and their willingness to
assist; adequacy of training received by
SARCs and Sexual Assault Prevention
and Response (SAPR) VAs to effectively
perform their duties; and other factors
affecting the ability of SARCs and SAPR
VAs to perform their duties. In addition,
the results of the survey will assess
progress, identify shortfalls, and revise
policies and programs as needed. The
FY21 NDAA requires that not later than
June 30, 2021 the Secretary of Defense
(SECDEF) survey SARCs and SAPR VAs
on their ability to perform duties.
SECDEF is required to submit a report
of the survey results and actions to be
taken as a result of the survey to the
Senate and House Committees on
Armed Services. In order to be able to
meet reporting requirements for DoD

leadership, the Military Services, and
Congress, the survey needs to be
completed by May 2021 to be able to
present results to leadership by the end
of 2021. That will also allow the results
to be shared with the Department and
Congress in the DoD SAPRO Annual
Report as they have been in previous
cycles. Data will be aggregated and
reported triennially in perpetuity.
Ultimately, the study will provide a
report to Congress and all of the data,
programs, and computational details
necessary for replication and peer
review.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Annual burden hours: 1,667.
Number of Respondents: 5,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 5,000.
Average Burden per Response: 20
minutes.
Frequency: Every 3 years.
The target population for this survey
will be all SARCs, VAs, and SVCs/VLCs
who are either Active Duty, Reserves/
National Guard, or a DoD civilian
employee. The survey will solicit
insights into characteristics of SAPR
programs to better understand how
responders are trained for their position
and their perceptions of how well their
program is supported and executed.
The full online survey system will be
hosted internally on OPA contractor
servers. Participants will receive email
communications notifying them about
the importance of the survey, the
confidential nature of the data
collection, how the data will be used,
and how to access the website.
Respondents will be given a unique link
and passcode to enter the survey in all
email communications. They will
receive up to no more than seven emails
during the survey fielding. The
reminder emails will be sent only to
those selected sample members who
have not yet responded to the survey or
who are not active refusers. Once they
complete the questions on the survey,
there is a submit button to send their
response.
OPA weights the eligible respondents
in order to make inferences about the
entire population of SAPR Personnel.
The weighting methodology utilizes
standard weighting processes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: Involuntary Allotment
Application; DD Form 2653; OMB
Control Number 0704–0367.
Needs and Uses: This collection of
information is in response to requests
for involuntary allotments. Before
responding to a request, the responsible
government official must have
information that identifies both the
applicant and the member against
whom the involuntary allotment is
sought; proves that the request is based
on a valid court judgment; shows that
the judgment comports with the
provision of the Soldiers and Sailors
Civil Relief Act (SCRA); and enables
consideration for whether exigencies of
military duty caused the absence of the
member from a judicial proceeding
upon which the judgment is based. With
the exception of information concerning
exigencies of military duty, an applicant
for an involuntary allotment must
provide required information before a
government official can act on the
applicant’s request. The information
from the DD Form 2653 is used by
DFAS officials to determine whether an
involuntary allotment should be
established against the pay of a member
of the Armed Forces. The information is
used to provide government reviewing
officials with necessary information to
ensure that both the law and due
process considerations are accounted
for, including information sufficient for
a decision maker to determine that the
request is based on a valid judgment
and that the SCRA has been complied
with.

households.
