*Title:*                     Request for Waiver of Service Obligation, Request for Deferment of Service Obligation, Application for Review.

*Type of Request:*                     Renewal of a Previously Approved Information Collection.                

*Abstract:*                     This information collection is essential for determining if a student or graduate of the United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) or subsidized student or graduate of a State maritime academy has a waive able situation preventing them from fulfilling the requirements of a service obligation contract signed at the time of their enrollment in a Federal maritime training program. It also permits the Maritime Administration (MARAD) to determine if a graduate, who wishes to defer the service obligation to attend graduate school, is eligible to receive a deferment. Their service obligation is required by law.
