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

the Health Sciences, or Army, Navy, and Air Force Scholarship Programs.

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 associated forms, if 
necessary, are not accomplished, individuals reviewing the medical 
examination 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 a medical qualification determination. It 
is essential that individual's have a medical qualification 
determination to ensure compliance with the physical standards 
established for each respective military service program.
