Consistent with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and its implementing regulations, this document provides notice DoD is submitting an Information Collection Request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to collect information on training and program evaluations for the Innovations in Sexual Assault Prevention Pilot Program (ISAPPP). As part of ISAPPP, the National Opinion Research Center, in collaboration with the Department of the Air Force (DAF), is conducting the ISAPPP surveys (a baseline survey and one follow-up survey) with DAF First Term Airmen/Guardians for the purpose of program evaluation. The results will be used by the DAF to evaluate and update their prevention programming. DoD requests emergency processing and ( printed page 4005) OMB authorization to collect the information after publication of this notice for a period of six months.

Comments must be received by February 25, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The purpose of the overall evaluation is to determine the effectiveness of the Wingman Intervention Training (WIT) program in preventing sexual harassment (SH) and sexual assault (SA). Respondents are Airmen/Guardians. Respondents will be recruited as First Term Airmen/Guardians to target the population most vulnerable to SH and SA. Respondents will start the web-based baseline January 2022 with a six-month intake period until June 2022, and a 6-month follow-up survey (July-December 2022) on SH and SA so that DAF can learn whether the WIT programming is effective at preventing SH and SA events and promoting active bystander behaviors. DAF Resilience Office staff can use the results to improve their prevention programming, thus supporting safer, more inclusive settings. Further, Airmen/Guardians may benefit through the improvement of the WIT program to prevent SH and SA within the Air Force. The military and society at large will also benefit because military officers will be more knowledgeable about SH and SA and will be better able to intervene to prevent SH and SA.
