Abstract: The Navy Ombudsman Program information collection is necessary to solicit and select a spouse for the volunteer Ombudsman position in Navy components. Ombudsmen act as a liaison between the Navy command/activity and the command’s families. An ombudsman is the spouse of an active duty or Selected Reserve member of the command, enlisted or officer. This requirement can be waived if, after a diligent search, no appropriate spouse volunteer is available. Family members, civilian employees affiliated with the command, and active duty service members may be considered for a waiver.
