the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed

information be processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the 
estimate of burden accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and 
(5) how might the Department minimize the burden of this collection on 
the respondents, including through the use of information technology. 
Please note that written comments received in response to this notice 
will be considered public records.
    Title of Collection: Annual Student Activities Report.
    OMB Control Number: 1840-0781.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or households.

    Abstract: Section 703 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as 
amended, authorizes the Secretary to award fellowships under the Jacob 
K. Javits Fellowship Program for graduate study in the arts, 
humanities, and social sciences. The fellowships support graduate 
students of superior ability selected on the basis of demonstrated 
achievement, exceptional promise and financial need. This information 
collection provides the U.S. Department of Education with information 
needed to determine if fellows have made substantial progress toward 
meeting the program's objectives and allows program staff to monitor 
and evaluate time-to-degree completion and the graduation rate of 
Javits fellows. Congress has mandated, through the Government 
Performance Results Act of 1993, that the U.S. Department of Education 
provide documentation regarding the progress being made by the program.
