This information collection request consists of two forms used in this process: NAVMC Form 10469, “Academic Certification for Marine Corps Officer Candidate Program,” and NAVMC Form 10064, “Personal Information Questionnaire (PIQ).” The NAVMC Form 10469 collects information about the candidate's educational background, and the NAVMC Form 10064 is used to evaluate the candidate's moral character. To accomplish officer procurement requirements prescribed in 10 United States Code (U.S.C.) 8042, 10 U.S.C. Chapter 32, the Marine Corps Recruiting Command (MCRC) Officer Commissioning Manual (MCRC Order 1100.02), and Marine Corps Order 1130.76D, the Marine Corps Officer Selection Officer (OSO) must prospect, screen, and contract qualified individuals. The NAVMC 10469 and 10064 forms are a vital part of this process. The NAVMC Form 10469 is used to verify a potential officer candidate's academic background and standardized test scores. During their initial interview with an OSO, applicants provide information about the colleges or universities they have attended. The OSO emails the NAVMC Form 10469 to the Registrar's office of the institutions identified by the applicant. The school Registrar's office completes the form with information regarding the student's degree plan, major, credit hours, and grades. The respondent will then digitally sign the form and return it to the OSO via email. It is then uploaded into the potential officer's application via the MCRC's Automated Commissioning Package database. The NAVMC 10064 is completed by the five-character references provided by potential applicants during the Marine Corps Officer Candidate application process. The OSO will contact the references and provide the PIQ via email for completion. Once a reference has completed the form, they will sign it electronically and return it to the OSO via email. In limited cases, the respondent may request to hand deliver their response to the OSO or receive/return the PIQ via the U.S. Postal Service. A prepaid envelope is provided to the respondent if required. The PIQ is used by the OSO and the selection board to assess the personal and moral character of an applicant and as a tool to better assess the possibility of them becoming a Marine Corps Officer. <E T="03">Affected Public:</E> Individuals or households. <E T="03">Frequency:</E> On occasion. <E T="03">Respondent's Obligation:</E> Voluntary. <E T="03">DoD Clearance Officer:</E> Mr. Reginald Lucas. <SIG> <DATED>Dated: September 24, 2025.</DATED> <NAME>Stephanie J.
