1. Need for the Information Collection
This information collection needed to assess respondents who are persons who wish to be considered for accession into the U.S. Navy. The authority to collect this information is granted by the following laws and policy:
10 U.S.C. Sections 136, 503, 504, 505, 12102; DoDI 1304.02 Accession Processing Data Collection Forms ; DoDI 1304.26 Qualification Standards for Enlistment, Appointment, and Induction; AR 601–270/OPNAVINST 1100.4C CH–2/AFI 36–2003_IP/MCO 1100.75F/COMDTINST M 1100.2E Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS);
COMNAVCRUITCOMINST 1130.8J Navy Recruiting Manual - Enlisted; COMNAVCRUITCOMINST 1131.2E Navy Recruiting Manual - Officer; and E.O. 9397, as amended (SSN).
2. Use of the Information
The collected information is used to support the U.S. Navy’s process to recruit and access persons for naval service. The information is used to support accession decisions, including the mental, physical, and financial fitness of the individual, potential qualification (or disqualification) of certain types of duty, the eligibility for special programs or jobs, and the awarding of the appropriate military pay and benefits.
Applicants are prospected through various methods. Recruiters contact applicants by phone to set appointments to submit necessary information into PRIDE Mod. Respondents contact information is gathered through their responses to U.S. Navy advertising agency commercials, newspaper ads, and recruiting events. Once applicants for Naval service, including both enlisted, officer - active and reserve components have been prospected, interviewed and determined to be mentally, morally and physically qualified for processing, they are processed for enlistment, affiliation and commissioning utilizing PRIDE Mod.
Recruiters and/or processors collect all required information from potential applicants in person. The applicants are asked questions and never access the PRIDE Mod Website. They can also provide source documents in person that include Birth Certificates, Social Security cards, High School diplomas or Marriage Certificates This information is used to determine eligibility and determine qualifications for enlistment, affiliation or commissioning. The Navy recruiters and or processors input the data and upload copies of the applicant’s source documents into the Pride Mod system. PRIDE Mod is the only system that is used to process applicants for Navy service. Pride Mod is used to determine eligibility for enlistment or commissioning. PRIDE Mod is used to determine if qualified for enlistment or commissioning and PRIDE Mod is also used to track and process through shipping/reporting to Recruit Training Command and Officer Training Command. All applicants are notified of their result by phone call or in person face to face conversation. The successful end result for this collection is that the Navy Recruiting Command will be able to determine if an applicant is eligible for commission or enlistments in the United States Navy.
3. Use of Information Technology
100% of responses are collected electronically. All information is collected verbally from the respondents in person, and is input into PRIDE Mod by a Navy recruiter or processor.
4. Non-duplication
The information obtained through this collection is unique and is not already available for use or adaptation from another cleared source.
This information collection does not impose a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses or entities.
6. Less Frequent Collection
If the information is not collected in a real time process as the applicant is processing for enlistment or commissioning, then the determination of mental/moral/physical qualifications could not be determined and all processing would stop until the required data is acquired.
7. Paperwork Reduction Act Guidelines
This collection of information does not require collection to be conducted in a manner inconsistent with the guidelines delineated in 5 CFR 1320.5(d)(2).
8. Consultation and Public Comments
