OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for Reclearance of a 
Revised Information Collection: Scholarship for Service Program 
Internet Webpage

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 
L. 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM) submitted a request to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for reclearance of a revised information 
collection for the Scholarship For Service (SFS) Program Internet 
Webpage. Approval of the Webpage is necessary to facilitate the timely 
registration, selection and placement of program-enrolled students in 
Federal agencies.
    The SFS Program was established by the National Science Foundation 
in accordance with the Federal Cyber Service Training and Education 
Initiative as described in the President's National Plan for 
Information Systems Protection, an outcome of Presidential Decision 
Directive 63. This program seeks to increase the number of qualified 
students entering the fields of information assurance and computer 
security in an effort to respond to the threat to the Federal 
Government's information technology infrastructure. The program 
provides capacity building grants to selected 4-year colleges and 
universities to develop or improve their capacity to train information 
assurance professionals. It also provides selected 4-year colleges and 
universities scholarship grants to attract students to the information 
assurance field. Participating students who receive scholarships from 
this program are required to serve a 10-week internship during their 
studies and complete a post-graduation employment commitment equivalent 
to the length of the scholarship or one year, whichever is longer.
    We estimate 200 respondents annually. The application process takes 
approximately 60 minutes for a total annual burden of 200 hours.
