    Need and Use of Information Collection: The primary objective of 
the application process is to allow OCRTME to evaluate applicants' 
qualifications to determine applicants' eligibility for courses and 
training programs managed by the office. Applicants must provide the 
required information requested in the respective applications to be 
considered a candidate for participation. Information submitted by 
candidates for training programs is reviewed initially by OCRTME 
administrative staff to establish eligibility for participation. 
Eligible candidates are then referred to the designated training 
program director or training program selection committee for review and 
decisions regarding acceptance for participation. A secondary objective 
of the application process is to track enrollment in courses and 
training programs over time.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are additional costs 
to the respondents other than their time. The total estimated 
annualized burden hours are 2,210.
