SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: Air Force Families Forever
Annual Survivor Survey; OMB Control
Number 0701–AFFF.
Type of Request: New.
Number of Respondents: 350.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 350.
Average Burden per Response: 25
minutes.
Annual Burden Hours: 146.
Needs and Uses: The Air Force
Families Forever (AFFF) program is a
long-term survivor program established
to provide support to family members of
deceased Regular Air Force and U.S.
Space Force members and Reserve
Component Airmen who died in an
Active Duty, Inactive Duty for Training
(IDT), or Annual Training (AT) status
and whose relationship was established
prior to the Airman or Guardian’s death.
The program’s mission is to link
families of fallen Airmen and Guardians
to their Air Force and Space Force
Family, thereby promoting Survivor
resilience and fostering well-being and
connectedness. The Air Force Families
Forever Annual Survivor Survey is
necessary to assess the impact and
effectiveness of AFFF and make changes
to policy, operational guidance, or
tactical implementation of the program
based on the results. Results may lead
to changes to the current outreach
conducted through AFFF, a
reassessment of appropriate staffing
levels, and the identification of high
performing program elements, to name
just a few potential outcomes. The AFFF
survey is available to those NOK who
are eligible for the program to obtain
their assessment of how the program
supports them and if any changes to the
program are necessary to improve
support. The survey is voluntary and
will not collect any information specific

information collected will remain

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: Overseas Citizen Population
Survey; OMB Control Number 0704–
0539.
Needs and Uses: The primary
objective of the Overseas Citizen
Population Survey (OCPS), conducted
on behalf of the Federal Voting
Assistance Program (FVAP), is to refine
FVAP’s methodology for estimating the
number of overseas U.S. civilians who
are eligible to vote and who have
registered and participated in the past.
These estimates are then used to address
the question of whether the registration
and voting propensity of the overseas
civilian population differs from that of
comparable domestic or military
populations. Subsequent to each
Presidential election year, FVAP must

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 10, 2023 / Notices
report to Congress voter registration and
participation rates for Uniformed
Services voters and overseas citizens.
Previous attempts to collect information
on the overseas citizen population to
identify and measure its voter
registration and participation rates in
Federal elections suffered from
significant bias; this effort is focused on
refining a well-established method to
report voter registration and
participation rates from a more welldefined subgroup of overseas civilians.
Conducting this research will help
FVAP meet its federal and congressional
mandates in terms of reporting annually
on its activities and overall voter
registration and participation rates after
each Presidential election. The data
obtained through this study is also
intended to provide insights into
existing barriers to UOCAVA voting and
recommendations for addressing these
challenges. In 2018, data from the 2016
survey was used to identify the barriers
that overseas citizens face in requesting,
casting, and returning their ballots—
and, along with the 2018 data, which is
just becoming available, will help shape
FVAP’s outreach to these voters in 2020
and beyond. The 2020 version of the
OCPS will test awareness and efficacy of
these efforts. The survey also identified
that overseas voters are more likely to
avail themselves of electronic options
when requesting their ballots (compared
to active duty military, who rely more
often on postal mail). These results
guided changes to the 2020 survey,
which further probes this difference.
Finally, the 2018 survey allows for a
midterm-to-midterm comparison of the
overseas voting experience from 2014 to
2018—and the 2020 version will permit
a similar comparison to the 2016
presidential election. To obtain the
necessary information, the OCPS will
use data collected from a sample of
registered overseas civilian voters in
conjunction with previous country level
estimates developed by FVAP research
and establish a research method to assist
FVAP in reporting voter registration and
participation rates for the 2020 election.

purpose of identifying, responding, and
treating child abuse/neglect and
domestic abuse. Section 543 of Public
Law 103–337, National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal
Year (FY) 1995, establishes the
SUMMARY:

requirement for domestic abuse victim
advocates (DAVAs) in the Armed Forces
that are responsible for (1) working with
victims of domestic abuse to provide: (a)
information on available benefits and
services, (b) assistance in obtaining
those benefits and services, and (c) other
appropriate assistance. (2) Services
offered in the case of an individual who
is a victim of family violence (including
intrafamilial sexual, physical, and
emotional abuse) shall be provided
principally through the FAPs of the
military departments. Section 574 of
Public Law 114–328, NDAA for FY
2017, requires that the Armed Forces
report to Congress critical information
on the circumstances of incidents of
child abuse/neglect and domestic abuse
to further inform ongoing prevention
and response efforts. The FAP Central
Registry data submitted from each
Military Service (Army, Navy, Marine
Corps, and Air Force) is aggregated to
report a DoD-wide description of the
child abuse/neglect and domestic abuse
incidents reported to FAP annually, by
fiscal year. Section 543 of Public Law
114–328 further directed the Secretary
of Defense to include information on
each claim of retaliation in connection
with a report of sexual assault (to
include domestic abuse incidents) in the
Armed Forces made by or against a
member of such Armed Forces. This
includes the narrative description and
nature of each complaint, information
on the complainant and alleged
retaliator, and summary and
determination of the investigation.
Section 536 of Public Law 116–92,
NDAA for FY 2020, directs the Secretary
to prescribe procedures under which a
victim who files a restricted report on
an incident of sexual assault (to include
domestic abuse incidents) may request,
at any time, the return of any personal
property of the victim obtained as part
of the sexual assault forensic
examination. Section 543 of Public Law
113–291, DoDI 5505.18, ‘‘Investigation
of Adult Sexual in the Department of
Defense,’’ and Under Secretary of
Defense for Personnel and Readiness
memorandum, Section 536 of Public
Law 115–232, NDAA for FY 2019,
‘‘Procedures to Implement the ‘‘Catch a
Serial Offender Program,’’ establishes
the requirement for the option of
expedited transfer to be made available
to victims of domestic abuse. DoD
Instruction (DoDI) 6400.06, ‘‘DoD
Coordinated Community Response to
Domestic Abuse Involving DoD Military
and Certain Affiliated Personnel,’’ sets
forth the policies for the
implementation and execution of the
FAP to include programs consistent
