SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: National Defense University 
(NDU) Student Profile; OMB Control Number 0704-XXXX.
    Needs and Uses: This information collection is required to complete 
the official student record, which is stored in the University Student 
Management System (USMS), a component of the NDU Enterprise Information 
System. Through this information collection, students provide profile 
information such as demographics, educational background, military 
service or professional background, and emergency contact information. 
The information is critical to university operations as it is used to 
fulfill mandatory reporting requirements and for the safety of our 
students. The information is collected from students electronically, 
via a web-based form that contains a combination of selected-response 
(radio buttons, drop-down menus) and open-response items. The National 
Defense University Student Profile (NSP) is completed by all students, 
and is administered using a Drupal-based survey platform provided by 
USA Learning.
    The data are downloaded, processed, and transferred to the USMS by 
NDU's Office of Institutional Research. The end result is a set of 
complete student records for each academic year in the official 
repository for such record. The data are used for various institutional 
purposes such as mandatory reporting and notifying students of 
emergencies or closures.
    Affected Public: Individuals and Households, Foreign Nationals.
    Annual Burden Hours: 841.7.
    Number of Respondents: 2525.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 2525.
    Average Burden per Response: 20 Minutes.
    Frequency: Annually.
