Number of Respondents: 

approximately 800.

Average Burden per Response: 45 

minutes. 

Frequency: Survey will be available to 

individuals who submit an application 

throughout the year. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

This online applicant survey will help 

analyze Navy JAG Corps applicants and 

focus future recruiting efforts. A Navy 

JAG Corps application consists of 

personal academic history (e.g., grade 

point average and Law School 

Admissions Test (LSAT) scores), as well 

as objective assessments of traits and 

values through a structured interview 

score. This survey gathers information 

about an applicant’s personality traits 

and tendencies, but the results are not 

part of the application. After selection of 

candidates for commission, an 

individual’s survey results will be 

combined with that individual’s 

application data and with measures of 

performance by that officer over time. 

Collectively, this information will 

provide a more thorough picture of an 

individual officer. Through this 

longitudinal study, the Navy JAG Corps 

will determine if any particular personal 

activities, academic performance, or 

personality traits (or combination of 

factors) constitute statistically 

significant indicators of success as Navy 

JAG Corps officers. If so, then recruiting 

efforts and selection criteria can be 

modified to find efficiencies and reduce 

costs.

Energy Projects. Should DOE choose to 

proceed which such a solicitation, 

applicants would be invited to apply for 

loan guarantees from DOE to finance 

projects and facilities located in the 

United States that employ innovative 

and advanced fossil energy technologies 

(‘‘Advanced Fossil Energy Projects’’). 

DOE may make up to Eight Billion 

Dollars ($8,000,000,000) in loan 

guarantee authority available under the 

proposed solicitation for Advanced 

Fossil Energy Projects. 

DOE is considering including in any 

potential future solicitation projects or

sequester air pollutants or 

anthropogenic emission of greenhouse 

gases, (2) employ New or Significantly 

Improved Technology as compared to 

Commercial Technology in service in 

the United States at the time the Term

forth in Part 609 under Chapter II of 

Title 10 of the Code of Federal
