SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The Office of Executive Assistance Management (OEBAM) manages the 
U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) Postsecondary Internship Program. The 
program is competitively awarded and funded by cooperative agreements 
with the purpose of providing experiential training opportunities for 
postsecondary students at DOC and other Federal agencies. The program 
is administered through a partnership between DOC and non-profit and/or 
educational institutions. This information collection would allow DOC 
management to evaluate and analyze the performance of the Postsecondary 
Internship Program and our diversity efforts to reach out to under-
represented ethnic and racial communities. The information will be used 
for program management, strategic planning, allocation of resources and 
performance measures. The survey is part of DOC's efforts to implement 
objectives of the National Performance Review, Government Performance 
and Results Act and the President's Management Agenda.

II. Method of collection

    The survey is conducted in paper form.
