is limited to locations that are capable

and equipped to deal with these types

of shipments. The same comment feels

that this rule will invalidate the Motor

Vehicle Inspection, DD Form 626. DD

Form 626 represents the condition of

the equipment at the time of inspection

at the origin activity and allows the

Government to compare the origin

inspection with the destination

inspection to establish liability. Once

the carrier equipment leaves the

activity, the potential for change to the

equipment remains, regardless of

whether the shipment is transloaded.

With this rule, the carrier accepts

liability for shipment integrity, to

include blocking and bracing. Another

comment suggests requiring carriers to

notify both origin and destination

activities of seal changes. The rules

publications allow adequate notification

by requiring carriers to annotate seal

changes on the Government Bill of

Lading. To comply with another

comment that this rule should clarify

the meaning of ‘‘proper blocking and

bracing,’’ MTMC will add to the end of

the rule the words ‘‘equal to or

exceeding the standard used by the

consignor.’’ MTMC expects that in

transloading a shipment, the carrier

maintains shipment integrity at a level

that is the same as or better than the

consignor’s. Transloading less-thantruckload shipments is an accepted

practice. MTMC has considered all

comments carefully and decided to

implement the proposed change to its

transloading procedures. If there are

concerns regarding these procedures,

the consignor has the option to select

Exclusive Use of Vehicle service.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all

comments received by July 23, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and

recommendations on the proposed

information collection should be sent to

Commandant of the Marine Corps,

(Code OR), Headquarters, U.S. Marine

Corps, 2 Navy Annex, Washington, DC

TITLE, ASSOCIATED FORM, AND OMB

NUMBER: Personal Information

Questionnaire; NAVMC 10064; OMB

Control Number 0703–0012.

NEEDS AND USES: The Personal

Information Questionnaire is used to

provide Headquarters, U.S. Marine

Corps with a standardized method in

rating officer program applicants in the

areas of character, leadership, ability,

and suitability for a service as a

commissioned officer.

Affected Public: Individuals; Annual

Burden Hours: 8,350.

Number of Respondents: 16,700;

Responses per Respondent: 1.

Average Burden per Response: 30

minutes; Frequency: On occasion.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Personal Information Questionnaire

(PIQ) is used by the Marine Corps as a

standardized method in assisting Officer

Selection Officers, a Board of Officers at

District Headquarters and a Board of

Officers at Headquarters Marine Corps

in determining the personal

characteristics of applicants for all

Reserve officer programs. The

questionnaire is sent to at least six

persons to be named by the applicant,

for completion and return. All PIQs will

be included with the application, and is

an attempt to gather specific

information about the applicant’s

character and background. This form

provides the Marine Corps with precise

data on personal characteristics of

applicants which will ensure selection

of the highest quality commissioned

officer for the Corps. While some

objective evaluations can be made from

academic records, test results, and

employment records, such intangible

qualities as personal characteristics can

best be evaluated by the objective

ratings of those persons who have

personal knowledge of the candidate.
