SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: USAFA Admissions
Procedures; OMB Control Number 0701-AFAA.
Needs and Uses: USAFA Admissions Procedures implement the
provisions of title 10 U.S.C. 9446. Information collection is necessary
to evaluate background and aptitude for commissioned service. Data
collected includes candidate's participation in extracurricular
activities, family and personal background, and academic background.
USAFA must also collect information necessary to verify eligibility for
admission. Information collected allows the Admissions Committee to
evaluate the ``whole person'' concept. Without this information it
would be difficult to accurately determine if an initial applicant
would be qualified to enter the candidate phase of the admissions
process. It would also be difficult to accurately determine a
candidate's leadership and academic abilities. Finally, USAFA Faculty
would not be able to determine course entry programming for the cadet
to succeed. Respondents are high school graduates and General
Educational Development equivalent who are applying to USAFA.
Acceptance is determined using the information provided by the
students. There are multiple sections associated with this information
collection. The information collected in these sections is required by
title 10 U.S.C. 9446 and used by USAFA officials to select appointees
to the Academy.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 183,333.
Number of Respondents: 50,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 50,000.
Average Burden per Response: 220 minutes.
Frequency: Annually.
Dated: March 19, 2024.
