Budget (OMB) provide interested Federal agencies and the public an 
early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. The 
OMB is particularly interested in comments which: (1) Evaluate whether 
the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (2) Evaluate the accuracy of 
the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
to be collected; and (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of 
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

    Type of Review: Extension.
    Title of Collection: DC School Choice Incentive Program.
    OMB Control Number: 1855-0015.
    Agency Form Number(s): N/A.
    Frequency of Responses: Annually.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; not-for-profit

    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 3,000.

    Abstract: The DC School Choice Incentive Program, authorized by the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2004, awarded a grant to the DC 
Children and Youth Investment Trust Corporation that will administer 
scholarships to students who reside in the District of Columbia and 
come from households whose incomes do not exceed 185% of the poverty 
line. Priority is given to students who are currently attending schools 
in need of improvement, as defined by Title I. To assist in the student 
selection and assignment process, the information to be collected will 
be used to determine the eligibility of those students who are 
interested in the available scholarships. Also, since the authorizing 
statute requires an evaluation we are proposing to collect certain 
family demographic information because they are important predictors of 
school success. Finally, we are asking to collect information about 
parental participation and satisfaction because these are key topics 
that the statute requires the evaluation to address.
