    Type of Request: New.
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Respondents Obligation to Reply: Voluntary.
    Burden to the Public:
    Estimated burden (hours) of the collection of information:

    General Description of Collection: The Paul D. Coverdell Fellows 
program is a graduate school benefit for returned Peace Corps 
Volunteers (RPCVs). The program, managed by the Peace Corps' Office of 
University Programs, is made in formal partnership with graduate degree 
granting educational institutions across the United States. The 
partnering institutions are required to offer financial support to 
RPCVs who, in

turn, complete substantive internships related to their program of 
study in underserved communities in the United States. The Office of 
University Programs requires each Coverdell Fellow partner university 
to submit an annual Census Report to ensure it is meeting the 
requirements agreed upon in its signed standard Memorandum of Agreement 
between the Peace Corps and the institution. Collection of this 
information allows the Peace Corps Office of University Programs to 
ensure the university is providing all the necessary benefits and 
support to the Fellows (returned Peace Corps Volunteer graduate school 
students) enrolled in the program. Although this collection is called a 
``Census Report'' no statistical methods are employed.
    Request for Comment: The Peace Corps invites comments on whether 
the proposed collections of information are necessary for proper 
performance of the functions of the Peace Corps, including whether the 
information will have practical use; the accuracy of the agency's 
estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, 
including the validity of the information to be collected; and, ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information 
technology.

    This notice is issued in Washington, DC, on May 7, 2020.

FOIA/Privacy Act Officer, Management.
