for comments and other submissions 

from members of the public is to make 

these submissions available for public 

viewing on the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov as they are 

received, without change, and including

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To 

request more information on this 

proposed information collection or to 

obtain a copy of the proposal and

please write to Office of DoD Chief 

Information Officer, ATTN: Ms. Sandra

Arlington, VA, 22202. 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Information Assurance 

Scholarship Program (IASP); OMB 

Control Number 0704–TBD. 

Needs and Uses: The National 

Security Agency (NSA) is the Executive 

Administrator of the Information 

Assurance Scholarship Program (IASP), 

serving on behalf of the Office of the 

Assistant Secretary of Defense 

(Networks and Information Integration)/ 

DoD Chief Information Officer. Those 

who wish to participate in the IASP 

Recruitment program must complete 

and submit an application package 

through their college or university to 

NSA. Centers of Academic Excellence in 

Information Assurance Education (CAE/ 

IAEs) interested in applying for 

capacity-building grants must complete 

and submit a written proposal, and all 

colleges and universities subsequently 

receiving grants must provide 

documentation on how the grant 

funding was utilized. In addition, IASP 

participants and their faculty advisors 

(Principal Investigators) are required to 

complete annual program assessment 

documents. Without this written 

documentation, the DoD has no means 

of judging the quality of applicants to 

the program or collecting information 

regarding program performance. 

Affected Public: ‘‘Individuals or 

households,’’ specifically college 

students at institutions designated as 

CAE/IAEs who are interested in, and 

qualified to, apply for a scholarship; 

‘‘Not-for-profit institutions,’’ specifically 

CAE/IAEs interested in submitting 

proposals for capacity-building grants, 

and faculty advisors (Principal 

Investigators). 

Annual Burden Hours: 1,755. 

Number of Respondents: 422. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Average Burden per Response: 4.16 

hours. 

Frequency: Annually. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

The IASP, authorized by Section 2200 

of title 10 of the United States Code, is 

designed to: increase the number of new 

entrants to DoD who possess key 

Information Assurance (IA) and IT skill 

sets, and serve as a tool to develop and 

retain well-educated military and 

civilian personnel who support the 

Department’s critical IT management 

and infrastructure protection functions. 

The IASP recruitment track is for 

college students who, on completion of 

the program, come to work for the DoD. 

The retention track is for current DoD 

employees who are excused from duty 

to attend college courses through the 

IASP. Pending availability of funds, the 

IASP may also award capacity-building 

grants to colleges and universities 

designated as CAE/IAEs for such 

purposes as developing IA curricula and 

faculty, and building IA laboratories. 

The recruitment, retention and grant 

programs all require a competitive 

application process. Additionally, there 

is an assessment process which 

examines how grant funds were spent, 

as well as an assessment process 

requiring status reports from students in 

the program, and university faculty 

representatives (Principal Investigators) 

for the purpose of program evaluation. 

In order to apply for any aspect of the 

program, paperwork is required so that 

the DoD may judge the merits of a given 

application and determine how best to 

allocate IASP funds. 

The Recruitment, Capacity-Building, 

and Assessment aspects of the IASP 

apply to non-DoD employee members of 

the general public who choose to 

become involved in the program and 

thus become subject to information 

collection requirements. The Retention 

aspect of the IASP applies only to 

current DoD personnel, and thus its 

information collection requirements are 

not addressed in this request.
