SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
The Department of Defense Form 1870, Nomination for Appointment to
the United States Military Academy, Naval Academy and Air Force
Academy, is used solely by legal nominating authorities who by Federal
law are entitled to make appointments to the three service military
academies. The nomination form allows for nominating authorities to
select by checking one box as to which academy is being provided with
the name of a nomination to be processed. Eligibility information
concerning the nominees is information that is also included on the
form. The nominating authority identifies himself/herself and must date
and sign the form to make it a legally acceptable form. The form
includes the three addresses of the service academies in order that the
form may be submitted to the proper academy. The form is currently
used, full time, by only the United States Military Academy. The United
States Air Force Academy uses the form only in rare cases totally no
more that 100 forms each year. The United States Naval Academy does not
use the form. The reason for this is the United States Naval Academy
and the United States Air Force Academy now employ an on-line
nomination submissions program in lieu of the DD Form 1870. We expect
the United States Military Academy will employ the on-line nomination
submissions program beginning in the Fall of CY 2008.
Dated: January 14, 2008.
