gauge the qualifications of individual candidates. Respondents are
applicants for admission to the USNA, persons interested in applying
for admission to the USNA, school officials for those applicants, Chain
of Command officials for active-duty applicants, person's providing
recommendations for

for international applicants from other countries, and local law
enforcement officials.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: On occasion.
