SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: National Language Service 
Corps; DD Form 2932, DD Form 2933, DD Form 2934; OMB Control Number 
0704-0449.
    Type of Request: Extension.
    Number of Respondents: 1,700.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 1,700.
    Average Burden per Response: 12 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 340.
    Needs and Uses: The National Language Service Corps (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

[[Page 1989]]

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.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Mr. Reginald Lucas.

    Dated: January 3, 2025.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
