8253, require applicants meet minimum and maximum age and citizenship

Birth,'' to a state or local agency requesting verification of the 
applicant's birth date. This verification of the birth date ensures 
that the applicant does not fall outside the age limitations, and the 
applicant's place of birth supports the citizenship status claimed by 
the applicant.
    Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Mr. Reginald Lucas.
