This information collection is needed to determine the eligibility and overall compatibility between sponsor applicants and fourth-class midshipmen at the USNA. In their first year, midshipmen desiring to participate in the program are assigned a sponsor from the local community area. An analysis of the information collected is performed by the Sponsor Program Officer in Charge to best match sponsor with a midshipman. Without this information collection, the sponsor program would not be able to determine if a sponsor family was “safe” to place a midshipman with nor appropriately match the interests of the midshipman with those of the sponsor family. <E T="03">Affected Public:</E> Individuals or households. <E T="03">Annual Burden Hours:</E> 800. <E T="03">Number of Respondents:</E> 800. <E T="03">Responses per Respondent:</E> 1. <E T="03">Annual Responses:</E> 800. <E T="03">Average Burden per Response:</E> 1 hour. <E T="03">Frequency:</E> On occasion. <SIG> <DATED>Dated: September 19, 2025.</DATED> <NAME>Stephanie J.
