SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 sexual assault. A subsequent November 2015 memo from the Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (USD P&R), and further a 2022 DoD Instruction (DoDI 6400.11) designated the DEOCS as the survey tool to support the NDAA requirement for a DoD SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 command climate assessment program. A DEOCS is conducted annually in all active duty and Reserve component DoD units and DoD civilian personnel organizations. Also included in the DEOCS population are active duty and Reserve component members of the Coast Guard, students and staff at the US 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. The DEOCS includes a module collecting information on the attitudes and experiences of Active duty and Reserve component military members related to racial/ethnic relations in the military. The module content is derived from the Armed Forces Workplace and Equal Opportunity (WEO) survey (OMB license 0704–0631) and provides primary data on estimated prevalence rates of racial/ethnic harassment and discrimination and climate that is required by the Secretary of Defense biennially (Esper 2020). To reduce survey burden for Active and Reserve component members, key measures previously collected under OMB license 0704–0659 will be included as a module to the DEOCS for a subset of Active and Reserve component DEOCS respondents. Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Defense Organizational Climate Survey (DEOCS) 5.1; OMB Control Number 0704–0659. Type of Request: Revision. Number of Respondents: 1,589,098. Responses per Respondent: 1. Annual Responses: 1,589,098. Average Burden per Response: 35 minutes. Annual Burden Hours: 926,974. Needs and Uses: The purpose of the Defense Organizational Climate Survey (DEOCS) is to assess command climate at the unit/organizational level across the Department of Defense (DoD) and serves as a tool, helping commanders and leaders improve their command climate. Military commanders and DoD civilian organization leaders are required to administer a DEOCS to their unit or organization annually. The DEOCS was initially developed in response to DoD Instruction (DoDI) 1350.2 which mandated the creation of a Military Equal Opportunity program as well as the administration of a command climate assessment. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2013 (Section 572)—and amended by section 1721 of the NDAA FY 2014—further mandates the climate E:\FR\FM\18MRN1.SGM 18MRN1
