Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 127 / Wednesday, July 7, 2021 / Notices
2014, 2016, and 2018. The 2020
administration of the survey was
postponed due to the COVID–19
pandemic. The 2022 survey would be
the ninth iteration of the SAGR survey.
The first focus group assessment was
conducted in 2007, with subsequent
focus groups in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015,
2017, 2019, and 2021. Information from
the SAGR surveys will be used by 4 DoD
policy offices, the Military Departments,
the MSAS, and Congress for program
evaluation and, specifically, to assess
and improve policies, programs,
practices, and training related to gender
relations at the MSAs. OPA will provide
reports to DoD policy offices, each
Military Department, the MSAs, the
Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), and Congress.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Annual Burden Hours: 5,000 hours.
Number of Respondents: 10,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 10,000.
Average Burden per Response: 30
minutes.
Frequency: Biennially.
The target population of the 2022
SAGR will consist of all students at the
Military Service Academies (MSAs):
U.S. Military Academy (USMA), U.S.
Naval Academy (USNA), and U.S. Air
Force Academy (USAFA), including the
Preparatory Schools. Excluded are
Service Academy Students who are (1)
non-citizens and (2) are visiting from
another MSA. Students under 18 years
of age are also excluded. Working with
the MSAs, we estimate the approximate
numbers of cadets and midshipmen to
be 14,200. The survey will be
administered to all cadets/midshipmen
(i.e., a census). Based on the 2018 SAGR
survey that had a 73% response rate, we
estimate a 70% response rate. To
achieve sufficient statistical analytical
power, we will include a census of the
population of interest in the study to
achieve sufficient coverage. Each
Academy notifies students about the
survey with an electronic message
explaining the overall survey process
and providing them instructions on how
to select a session for administration of
the survey. OPA staff is on location
during the survey week to brief students
and administer the survey in person
using a paper survey. Sessions are
typically scheduled from 0700 through
1500 and follow the Academy’s class
periods. Attendance is checked when a
student arrives for their session
(attendance is only for purposes of
following up and not for identifying
survey responses by individuals).
Academy officials follow up with

students who do not appear at their
designated session and reschedule
accordingly. OPA staff provides an
overview briefing on the purpose for the
survey. Students are advised they may
leave at any time after the briefing if
they choose not to complete the survey.
Data will be weighted, using an industry
standard process, to reflect each
Academy’s population as of the time of
the survey. Weighting produces survey
estimates of population totals,
proportions, and means (as well as other
statistics) that are representative of their
respective populations. OPA creates
variance strata so precision measures
can be associated with each estimate.
We produce precision measures for
reporting categories using 95%
confidence intervals with the goal of
achieving a precision of 5% or less (e.g.
80% (+/¥5%) of cadets/midshipmen
are satisfied with their training).
