SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection

    Respondents are individuals who are interested in applying to 
attend one of the five Service academies, the Four year Reserve Officer 
Training Corps Scholarship Program, Uniformed Services University of 
the Health Sciences or Army, Navy, and Air Force Scholarship Programs. 
The completed form(s) is processed through medical reviewers 
representing their respective services to determine a medical 
qualification status. Associated forms may or may not be required 
depending on the medical information contained in the medical 
examination. If the medical examination and necessary associated forms 
are not accomplished, individuals reviewing the medical qualification 
status cannot be readily assured of the medical qualifications of the 
individual. Without this process the individual applying to any of 
these programs could not have the medical qualification determination 
essential to ensure compliance with the physical standards established 
for the respective military service program.
