The Department of Defense (DoD), through the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, is seeking public comments on a new information collection proposal related to the Military Child Development Program Workforce Survey. This survey aims to understand staffing challenges and improve strategies for recruiting, training, and retaining qualified staff in the program. The proposal, submitted for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act, is open for public comment until June 2, 2025, and involves both individuals and government employees. The total respondent burden is 1,822 hours for 5,394 respondents.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Defense wants to know how to make sure they have enough people working at places that help children of military families, and they've asked people to share their thoughts on how to do this better by June 2, 2025. They want to understand why it's hard to find and keep good workers, but the details on what exactly they plan to do or how much it will cost are not very clear.
