SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: National Language Service 
Corps (NLSC); DD Form 2932, DD Form 2933, DD Form 2934; OMB Control 
Number 0704-0449.
    Needs and Uses: The NLSC recruits from the public and enrolls 
individuals who would like to volunteer their language skills. The NLSC 
identifies U.S. citizens who can provide high levels of proficiency in 
foreign languages and cultural expertise critical to national security 
for short-term temporary assignments when other resources are not 
available. The NLSC will fill gaps between requirements of DoD or other 
departments or agencies of the United States and available language 
skills where Government employees are required or desired. The NLSC 
will reach out to U.S. citizens (age 18 or over) who can read, listen, 
speak, and write in English and read, listen, write, and speak at least 
one other specified language, generally at or above skill level 3 as 
described by the proficiency guidelines of the Federal Interagency 
Language Roundtable (ILR). The DoD and the Intelligence Community 
agencies use these guidelines as the basis for language skill 
requirements identification, position descriptions, readiness indices 
and language bonus pay systems. Therefore, the ILR proficiency 
guidelines represent a common metric used by USG agencies as a basis 
for policy, planning and human capital decisions in operational, 
mission critical areas where language is required.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,020.
    Number of Respondents: 1,700.
    Responses per Respondent: 3.
    Annual Responses: 5,100.
    Average Burden per Response: 12 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.

    Dated: November 13, 2024.
