SUPPORTING STATEMENT - PART A

Academic Certification for Marine Corps Officer Candidate Program – 0703-0011


Summary of Changes from Previously Approved Collection


  • Increase in use of information technology from 0%-95% to collect responses.




1. Need for the Information Collection


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. The authorities authorizing the collection of information is Title 10, USC 5042: Headquarters Marine Corps: General Duties, MCO 1130.76C, “Conduct of Recruiting Operations,” and MCRCO 1100.2, Marine Corps Recruiting Command Officer Commissioning Manual (MCRC OCM) which establishes the requirement to verify officer applicant’s qualifications. Marine Corps Recruiting Command is responsible to the Commandant of the Marine Corps for the procurement of qualified individuals, to meet the established personnel strength levels, officer and enlisted, of the Marine Corps and Marine Corps Reserve. Under Title 10, USC 5042, Headquarters Marine Corps shall prepare for such employment of the Marine Corps, to include recruiting and maintaining of the Marine Corps. Under MCO 1130.76C, The Commanding General of MCRC is responsible for the implementation of total force recruiting policies and directives as established by the Department of Defense, Department of the Navy or Headquarters Marine Corps. MCRCO 1100.2 establishes the criteria for officer procurement and accessions as directed by the Commandant of the Marine Corps. In order to accomplish these officer procurement requirements, the Office Selection Officer must prospect, screen and contract qualified individuals. The NAVMC 10469 form is a vital part of the process.


2. Use of the Information


The NAVMC Form 10469 “Academic Certification for Marine Corps Officer Candidate Program” is used 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) to schedule an initial interview with the applicant. During that initial interview, the applicant provides information on colleges or universities they’ve attended. The OSO emails the NAVMC Form 10469 to the Registrar’s office of the college(s) or university(ies) identified by the applicant. The school Registrar’s office completes the form with information regarding the student’s degree plan, major, credit hours, and grades. The respondents are not provided any additional letters, emails, or other communications when filling this information out. The respondent will then digitally sign the form, verifying the information to be true, and return it to the OSO via email. Once the form is completed, signed, and received by the OSO, it will be uploaded into the potential officer’s application via the Marine Corps Recruiting Command’s Automated Commissioning Package (ACP) database. The applicant does not complete or review this form in order to maintain the integrity of the information that is provided.
