    Needs and Uses: SMART is designed to increase the number of new

entrants to the DoD. Additionally, the SMART Program develops and 
retains current DoD civilian STEM employees that are critical to the 
national security functions of the Department of Defense and are needed 
in the Department of Defense workforce. SMART awards scholarships, 
ranging from 1.5 to 5 years, to undergraduate and graduate level 
students pursuing a degree in one of 21 technical disciplines. Upon 
graduation, scholars fulfill a service commitment with the DoD facility 
that nominated the scholar for an award (the sponsoring facility, or 
SF). The information collection activity under review is a statutory 
and functional requirement necessary to administer the scholarship 
program.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: As required.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
