The general policy for comments and other submissions from members of the public is to make these submissions available for public viewing on the internet at https:// www.regulations.gov as they are received without change, including any personal identifiers or contact information.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Section 572 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 required commanders of each military command to conduct a climate assessment of the command or unit for purposes of preventing and responding to sexual assaults. A subsequent November 2015 memo from the Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (USD P&R) designated the DEOCS as the survey tool to support the NDAA requirement for a DoD command climate assessment program. As outlined in DoD Instruction (DoDI) 6400.11, all active duty and Reserve component commanders and DoD civilian organization leaders are required to administer a DEOCS to their unit or organization annually. Also included in the DEOCS population are active duty and Reserve component members of the Coast Guard, students at the U.S. Military Service Academies, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, and foreign nationals working for the DoD. The survey is web-based and is a census of the commander’s unit. The core survey questions are organized into three main categories that include (1) unit experience, (2) leadership, and (3) behaviors and personal experience. To fulfill the requirement outlined in DoDI 1350.02 of fielding a survey to assess racial and ethnic relations in the military, a sample of active duty and Reserve component members who take the DEOCS in 2024 will be provided additional questions on racial and ethnic issues. Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Defense Organizational Climate Survey (DEOCS)—Version 5.1; OMB Control Number 0704–0659. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:46 Sep 28, 2023 Jkt 259001 Needs and Uses: The DEOCS is fielded in response to Section 572 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013. A May 2019 memo from the Acting Secretary of Defense directed that the goals of the DEOCS include developing and providing leaders with assessment tools ‘‘that help them with developing an appropriate course of action from a suite of interventions and provide them with feedback on their impact of their efforts.’’ The information gathered from the DEOCS will be used by commanders, prevention workforce personnel, equal opportunity officers (EOAs), survey administrators, and other leaders to assess the unit’s command climate and measure the risk and protective factors associated with the six strategic target outcomes (sexual assault, sexual harassment, racial/ethnic discrimination, suicide, readiness, and retention). Based on the DEOCS results, commanders/leaders, their command climate administrator, and their Integrated Primary Prevention Workforce (IPPW) personnel will develop a Comprehensive Integrated Primary Prevention (CIPP) plan to positively impact their organization’s leadership climate. The survey results are provided to the commander/leader, their command climate administrator, and their IPPW personnel. Survey responses could also be used in future analyses. The statutory and policy requirements for the DEOCS can be found in the following: • FY13 NDAA, Section 572 • FY14 NDAA, Section 1721 • DoD Instruction (DoDI) 6400.11, ‘‘DoD Integrated Primary Prevention Policy for Prevention Workforce and Leaders’’ • DoD Instruction (DoDI) 1350.02, ‘‘DoD Military Equal Opportunity Program’’ Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness. (2018). Realignment of force resiliency elements of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness [Memorandum]. The DEOCS fielded in 2024 will also include items that meet the requirement to collect information on racial and ethnic issues among active duty and Reserve component members. To reduce survey burden, the Department identified the DEOCS as the most appropriate existing survey vehicle to collect this information. The statutory and policy requirements for collecting information on racial and ethnic issues among active duty and Reserve component members can be found in the following: PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 67261 • Immediate Actions to Improve Diversity & Inclusion (Esper, 2020) Affected Public: Individuals or households.

Unit commanders and organizational leaders must administer a DEOCS during the Annual Force-wide administration. There is not a standardized method for defining at which level in the hierarchy units are required to take the DEOCS, how to define a unit, or how to define unit membership. As a result, there may be overlap between DEOCS units resulting in individuals taking more than one DEOCS. The additional survey items included on the DEOCS to meet the requirement to gather information on racial and ethnic issues among active duty and Reserve component members is collected biennially (i.e. every other year).
