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 and Non-

    The completed forms are processed through medical reviewers

[[Page 36525]]

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 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 individuals 
have a medical qualification determination to ensure compliance with 
the physical standards established for each respective military service 
program.
