SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This request is for extension of a current information collection.
    The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office 
of Education (OEd) collects, evaluates and analyzes student data for 
the purpose of selecting successful candidates, and for generating 
reports and news articles to communicate the success of its program. 
The OEd requires applicants to its undergraduate scholarship programs 
to complete an application in order to be considered. The application 
package requires two faculty and/or academic advisors to complete a 
NOAA student scholar reference form in support of the scholarship 
application. NOAA OEd student scholar alumni are also requested to 
provide information to NOAA for internal tracking purposes. NOAA OEd 
grant recipients are required to update the student tracker database 
with the required student information. The collected student data 
supports NOAA OEd's program performance measures. The Dr. Nancy Foster 
Scholarship Program and the NMFS Recruiting, Training, and Research 
Program also collect student data for their programs and are also 
covered by this notice.

II. Method of Collection

    Electronic applications and electronic forms are required from 
participants, and the primary methods of submittal are email and 
Internet submission of electronic forms. Approximately 1% of the 
application and reference forms may be mailed to accommodate those 
without internet access. New student records may also be provided via 
spreadsheet by OEd grant recipients for

the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
