SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Information Collection

    This new form replaces the Application for Commission in the U.S. 
Navy/U.S. Navy Reserve, and collects less information than the current 
form requires. The reason for implementing this new form is that even 
though most of the information is already gathered by the Standard Form 
86, Questionnaire for National Security Positions, OMB Control Number 
3206-0005, and is already in the system there are still several bits of 
information needed for the boards to base their selection decisions on.
