57028 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 179 / Thursday, September 15, 2011 / Notices 

1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) requires that 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) provide interested Federal 

agencies and the public an early 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. The OMB is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: (1) Evaluate whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (2) Evaluate the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) Minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

Type of Review: Extension. 

Title of Collection: DC School Choice 

Incentive Program. 

OMB Control Number: 1855–0015. 

Agency Form Number(s): N/A. 

Frequency of Responses: Annually. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; not-for-profit institutions. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 3,000. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden 

Hours: 1,000. 

Abstract: The DC School Choice 

Incentive Program, authorized by the 

Consolidated Appropriations Act of 

2004, awarded a grant to the DC 

Children and Youth Investment Trust 

Corporation that will administer 

scholarships to students who reside in 

the District of Columbia and come from 

households whose incomes do not 

exceed 185% of the poverty line. 

Priority is given to students who are 

currently attending schools in need of 

improvement, as defined by Title I. To 

assist in the student selection and 

assignment process, the information to 

be collected will be used to determine 

the eligibility of those students who are 

interested in the available scholarships. 

Also, since the authorizing statute 

requires an evaluation we are proposing 

to collect certain family demographic 

information because they are important 

predictors of school success. Finally, we 

are asking to collect information about 

parental participation and satisfaction 

because these are key topics that the 

statute requires the evaluation to 

address.
