SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: National Language Service 
Corps; DD Forms 2932, 2933, and 2934; OMB Control Number 0704-0449.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to identify individuals with language and special skills who 
potentially qualify for employment or service opportunities in the 
public section during periods of national need or emergency.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 167 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 1,500.
    Responses per Respondent: 3.
    Annual Responses: 4,500.
    Average Burden per Response: 16.24 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    The DD Form 2932, National Language Service Corps (NLSC) Pilot 
Application, is the initial document used to collect information from 
members of the public. The NLSC Pilot Application form contains a brief 
set of screening questions and provides background data on where the 
applicant learned the foreign language and whether the applicant has 
used the language professionally. Applicants fill this out for basic 
information (age, citizenship, Foreign Language), and if they meet 
eligibility criteria, they proceed to the supplemental documents. 
Members are required to renew their DD Form 2932 information every four 
years. Renewing applicants are in addition to those initially applying.
    The supplemental documents are used to determine eligibility for 
membership in the NLSC. The DD Form 2934, National Language Service 
Corps (NLSC) Global Language Self-Assessment, provides an overall 
assessment of the applicant's foreign language ability. The DD Form 
2933, National Language Service Corps (NLSC) Pilot Detailed Skills 
Self-Assessment, is a detailed description of the applicant's skills 
with respect to specific foreign language tasks. These two supplemental 
documents are used in conjunction for the certification of language 
skills for entry into the NLSC and quality assurance of certification.
    The information collected in the application and the supplemental 
documents is used solely by the NLSC.
