Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Collection: Scholarship 
for Service Program Internet Webpage

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Public 
Law 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). OPM requested OMB to approve a collection 
associated with 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. 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.
    OPM projects that 450 students will graduate from participating 
institutions over the next three years. These students will need 
placement in addition to the 180 students needing placement this year. 
We estimate the collection of information for registering and creating 
an online resume to be 45 minutes to 1 hour. We estimate the total 
number of hours to be 630.
    Comments: We received no comments in response to our 60-day notice.

Chief of Staff/Director of Internal Affairs.
