SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the

the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize 
the burden of the information collection on respondents, including 
through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by February 
28, 2022.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by docket number and 
title, by any of the following methods:
    Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 
instructions for submitting comments.

    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency 
name, docket number and title for this Federal Register document. The 
general policy for comments and other submissions from members of the 
public is to make these submissions available for public viewing on the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on this 
proposed information collection or to obtain a copy of the proposal and 
associated collection instruments, please write to the United States

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Naval Academy Information 
Program Blue and Gold Officer Program; USNA Form 1531/1; OMB Control 
Number 0703-BGOA.
    Needs and Uses: This information requirement is needed to determine 
the eligibility and leadership potential of respondents applying to 
represent the United States Naval Academy as volunteer Blue and Gold 
Officers. Prior military service, current and past military 
performance, and prior affiliation with the USNA has been found to be 
an excellent predictor of success as a Blue and Gold Officer. Without 
this information, the ability for the USNA to recruit qualified Blue 
and Gold Officers would be impacted and would negatively affect the 
Naval Academy's ability to recruit qualified candidates.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.

    Number of Respondents: 250.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.

    Frequency: On occasion.
