SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The NASA Office of Education seeks a generic clearance to 
administer surveys through the Office of Education Performance 
Measurement (OEPM) system. Data Collection through the OEPM system will 
be used for reporting on Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) 
measures, Program Analysis and Evaluation (PA&E), and answering 
Congressional inquiries about NASA education programs.

II. Method of Collection

    Data collected will be primarily electronic. Teachers, students, 
and interested members of public who have attended or participated in 
NASA funded education events and activities will be sent an email with 
a link that, when clicked, will route the participant to the relevant 
survey.
    At events where computers might not be available, a paper version 
of a select number of surveys will be available. Surveys will be 
scanned into the OEPM system through a fax machine or scanner.
