SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Education Verification for 
National Guard Enlistees; High School Verification, NGB Form 900; 
College Enrollment Verification NGB Form 901; OMB Control Number 0704-
XXXX.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection is necessary to verify 
education status and projected graduation dates for students who agree 
to enlist in the Army National Guard. Information gathered by the NGB 
Form 900 is required to verify and determine the graduation dates for 
high school juniors who enlist in the National Guard. Information 
gathered by the NGB Form 901 is required to verify the enrollment and 
graduation dates for college students who enlist in the National Guard. 
The National Guard will use this information to schedule basic training 
dates to accommodate a student's educational obligations, thereby 
ensuring that the enlistee will complete his or her education in a 
timely manner.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 833.33.
    Number of Respondents: 10,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 10,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondents are high school juniors and college students who have 
agreed to enlist in the Army National Guard. NGB Form 900 and NGB Form 
901 each record an enlistee's last day of school, first day of school 
for the next school year, and/or graduation date, as applicable. The 
completed forms are used to properly process applicants into the Army 
National Guard. If the form is not completed, applicants cannot be 
properly processed for enlistment in a way that is compatible with 
their education dates, and this error could result in wasted funds for 
scheduled incomplete Basic Combat Training.
