SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with 
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing

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

Department of Education is especially interested in public comment 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to

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.

    Abstract: The Paul Douglas Teacher Scholarship program was designed 
to issue grants to the states to provide scholarships to outstanding 
secondary school graduates who demonstrated an interest in teaching

to monitor and evaluate the compliance of the remaining state education 
agencies.
