SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: 
Building Healthy Military Communities (BHMC) Pilot Rapid Needs 
Assessment (RNA); OMB Control No. 0704-XXXX.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to establish a baseline assessment of readiness requirements and 
available resources to support these requirements at a state level, as 
well as to identify current gaps in resources for Service members 
across all components.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households, Business or other for 
profit; Not-for-profit institutions, State, local, or tribal 
government.
    Annual Burden Hours: 420 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 280.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 280.
    Average Burden per Response: 90 minutes.
    Frequency: One-Time.
    The Building Healthy Military Communities (BHMC) pilot is a multi-
year initiative that aims to better understand unique challenges faced 
by geographically dispersed Service members and their families that may 
impact force readiness and well-being. The BHMC pilot is conducting a 
Rapid Needs Assessment (RNA) to establish a baseline assessment of 
readiness requirements and available resources to support these 
requirements at a state level, as well as to identify current gaps in 
resources for Service members across all components. The RNA is part of 
an effort to enrich the DoD's methodology for creating a well-informed 
strategic plan aimed at optimizing force readiness and well-being 
through community capacity building and better coordination among DoD 
and non-DoD resources. To conduct this assessment, the Office of the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Readiness (OASD(R)), in 
collaboration with the National Guard Bureau (NGB), Uniformed Services 
University of the Health Sciences (USUHS), and the Services within the 
Reserve Component, will conduct interviews with program representatives 
at the federal, DoD, state, and local community level to gather 
qualitative data on their programs and services, the population(s) 
served by their programs, and the program manager's observations on 
salient issues impacting the well-being of Service members and their 
families. The in-person interviews conducted during the RNA will give a 
unique perspective into all Services and components regarding gaps in 
available resources that impact readiness and well-being. The RNA is a 
one-time event expected to last from November 2017 to April 2018.
