general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on 
proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This 
helps the Department assess the impact of its information collection 
requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps 
the public understand the Department's information collection 
requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format. ED 
is soliciting comments on the proposed information collection request 
(ICR) that is described below. ED is especially interested in public 
comment addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection 
necessary to the proper functions of ED; (2) will this 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 ED 
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: Presidential Cybersecurity Education Award.
    OMB Control Number: 1875-NEW.
    Type of Review: A new information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 120.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 120.
    Abstract: Pursuant to Executive Order 13870 of May 2, 2019, as 
published in the Federal Register at 84 FR 20,523-20,527 (May 9, 2019) 
(Executive Order 13870), ED, in consultation with the Deputy Assistant 
to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism and the 
National Science Foundation, has developed and implemented, consistent 
with applicable law, an annual Presidential Cybersecurity Education 
Award to be presented to one elementary and one secondary school 
educator per year who best instill skills, knowledge, and passion with 
respect to cybersecurity and cybersecurity-related subjects. ED will 
solicit nominations for the two individual educators who will be 
awarded this Presidential Cybersecurity Education Award.
    Additional Information: An emergency clearance approval for the use 
of the system is described below due to the following conditions: The 
program office anticipates announcing this award on October 1, 2019. In 
recognition of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, the announcement 
of the Award will be on or around October 1, 2019. However, the 
Department must wait until the Systems of Records Notice (SORN) is 
published in the Federal Register to accept nominations. The Department 
anticipates that the SORN should be published by December 2019 (or 
sooner), at which point nominations can be submitted to the Department. 
The nomination period will likely close January 31, 2020. By announcing 
in October, this allows nominators more time to put together the 
information required to submit nominations. The Department will prompt 
nominators to refer to the website for updated details on when 
nominations can be submitted to the Department. Between February and 
April 2020, the Department will conduct an internal review of the 
nominations, recommend one elementary and one secondary awardee to the 
Department of Education's Office of the Secretary, and awardees will be 
recognized during Teacher Appreciation Week in May 2020. This quick 
timeline will ensure meeting the President of the United States' 
Executive Order 13870 directive to make awards within one year of 
signage.
