SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) Family Needs Assessment (FNA); DD Form 3054; OMB Control Number 0704-0580.

Type of Request: Extension.

Number of Respondents: 20,000.

Responses per Respondent: 1.

Annual Responses: 20,000.

Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.

Annual Burden Hours: 10,000 hours.

Needs and Uses: This information collection through the Family Needs Assessment (FNA) is necessary to assist EFMP Family Support staff in identifying the needs of families and developing plans of action. The Family Services Plan Addendum allows EFMP Family Support staff and families to track identified steps in addressing their needs and goals. The Inter-Services Transfer Summary (ISTS) Addendum facilitates the transfer of cases between sister-Service Family Support Offices when a family requests a warm hand-off to a gaining installation.

The EFMP FNA addresses current differences in assessment processes and inconsistent transfer of cases across the Services. With this standardized form, installation-level EFMP Family Support Offices can provide a family support experience that is consistent across the Services and maintains continuity of services when military families with special needs have Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders to a joint base or sister-Service location.

Affected Public: Individuals or households.

Frequency: As needed.

Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.

DOD Clearance Officer: Mr. Reginald Lucas.
