SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Navy CHINFO Quarterly Brand Opinion Survey; OMB Control Number 0703–GLPS. Type of Request: Existing collection in use without an OMB Control Number. Number of Respondents: 4,000. Responses per Respondent: 1. Annual Responses: 4,000. Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes. Annual Burden Hours: 1,000. Needs and Uses: The Navy Chief of Information (CHINFO) is required to provide public affairs advice to the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Naval Operations. In order to provide informed advice, it is critical that CHINFO be able to assess the current communication environment, including current public opinion of the U.S. Navy and its operations, the popular media or social influencers of that environment, and recent trends that have changed that environment. This is done by conducting recurrent surveys to determine what Americans understand about their Navy and how this understanding changes over time. This survey research is directed in OPNAV Instruction 5726.8C, ‘‘Outreach: America’s Navy.’’ Responses to the survey questions allow CHINFO to assess current public perceptions of the U.S. Navy. Understanding these perceptions allows CHINFO to better advise U.S. Navy senior leaders on actions to take or avoid as well as better gauge how emerging issues will be perceived by the public. This information also helps CHINFO plan its communication strategies around the release of information. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Frequency: Quarterly. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
