SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This information collection provides incident and case management data on incidents of problematic sexual behavior between children and youth as required by the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Pub. L. 115-232), Section 1089, Policy on Response to Juvenile on Juvenile Problematic Sexual Behavior Committed on Military Installations. This statute requires policy development, data collection, and Family Advocacy Program (FAP) involvement through a multi-disciplinary response to problematic sexual behavior in children and youth (PSB-CY) occurring on military installations. The purpose of the collection is to determine eligibility for FAP services and to initiate a case record that will inform and support the development and implementation of well-coordinated safety plans, evidence informed support and intervention services, and referrals to specialized care when needed that meet the complex needs of children, youth, and their families involved in incidents of PSB-CY. The PSB-CY Information System is in the final phase of beta testing in anticipation of production release early October 2021 as specified in the system development contract. The PSB-CY development contract ends 12 November. Approval of the emergency processing will allow deployment of the PSB-CY Information System as programmed and contribute to the Department's ability to respond and intervene with appropriate treatment and services to help military-affiliated children, youth, and their families who have been involved in these incidents. Delay of the information collection presents significant risk for a smooth transition, namely the ability for the new managing contractor to take full advantage of current PSB-CY development contractor expertise and help desk support post go-live. Disrupting the transition carries a significant operational risk to support the operations and sustainment of the PSB-CY application, including the high volume of data. MC&FP planned for the PSB-CY development contractor to provide support as part of the transition plan. If information collection and system go-live is not expedited, this transition support will be unavailable.
