The collection is described as directly aligning with service member readiness, retention, and improved quality of life for families.

The proposed collection lists Affected Public as "Individuals or households" and estimates 136 respondents with 16 responses per respondent (2,176 annual responses), for a total annual burden of 72.5 hours and an average burden of 2 minutes per response. The public may submit comments on the collection by April 27, 2026.
