Needs And Uses: The information collected through NAVMC Form 10469, “Academic Certification for Marine Corps Officer Candidate Program,” is needed to verify a potential officer candidate's academic qualifications and mental qualifying scores. When an applicant is interested in joining the Marine Corps as an Officer, they must contact a Marine Corps Officer Selection Officer (OSO). An OSO will then conduct an initial interview with the applicant in which they will be asked to disclose where he or she attended college. The OSO will go to the colleges or universities that the applicant listed during the initial interview. The OSO takes the NAVMC Form 10469 to the college or university of the applicant where the respondent, a school official, will fill out the form with information on the student's degree plan, major, credit hours, and grades. The school official will then sign the form, verifying the information to be true, and return it to the OSO in person. The data from the NAVMC 10469 is scanned and uploaded into the Marine Corps Recruiting Command's Automated Commissioning Package (ACP) database. The form is included in a potential officer's application. Once this form is scanned into the ACP, the hard copy of the form is destroyed. The ACP is then uploaded into the Marine Corps Recruiting Command Administrative Portal, where the forms are stored permanently.

Affected Public: Individuals or households.

Frequency: On occasion.

Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.

OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
