SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

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. OMB may amend or 

waive the requirement for public 

consultation to the extent that public 

participation in the approval process 

would defeat the purpose of the 

information collection, violate State or 

Federal law, or substantially interfere 

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The IC Clearance 

Official, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of 

Management, publishes that notice 

containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission 

of these requests to OMB. Each 

proposed information collection, 

grouped by office, contains the 

following: (1) Type of review requested,

Federal Student Aid 

Type of Review: Extension. 

Title: Student Aid on the Web. 

Frequency: Annually; Monthly; On 

Occasion. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

household; Federal Government; State, 

Local, or Tribal Gov’t, SEAs or LEAs.

Burden: 

Responses: 6,655,377. 

Burden Hours: 245,198. 

Abstract: Federal Student Aid, an 

office of the U.S. Department of 

Education, seeks renewal of the 

registration system within the Student 

Aid on the Web, an Internet Portal Web 

site (hereafter ‘‘The Web Site’’). The 

Web site makes the college application 

process more efficient, faster, and 

accurate by making it an automated, 

electronic process that targets financial 

aid and college applications. The Web 

site uses some personal contact 

information criteria to automatically fill 

out the forms and surveys initiated by 

the user. The Web site also provides a 

database of demographic information 

that helps Federal Student Aid target 

the distribution of financial aid 

materials to specific groups of students 

and/or parents. For example, studies 

have shown that providing student 

financial assistance information to 

middle school (or elementary school) 

students and/or their parents 

dramatically increases the likelihood 

that those students will attend college. 

The demographic information from the 

Web site helps us to identify potential 

customers in the middle school age 

range. The FAFSA4caster Data Transfer 

module has been added to the Web site 

since its last approval. As with the 

FAFSA Data Transfer module, data from 

the student’s MyFSA profile prepopulates the FAFSA4caster— 

FAFSA4caster is the U.S. Department of 

Education’s financial aid estimator tool 

that determines what type of financial 

aid the student is eligible to receive and 

provides an estimated award amount for 

each. The FAFSA4caster data transfer 

module uses current MyFSA profile 

information and, therefore, does not 

require the collection of additional data 

items.

II. Award Information 

Type of Award: Discretionary grants 

redistributed as fellowships to 

individual beneficiaries. As part of its 

FY 2010 budget request, the 

Administration proposed to continue to 

allow funds to be used to support the 

applications of individuals who plan 

both to utilize their language skills in 

world areas vital to the United States 

national security and to apply their 

language skills and knowledge of these 

countries in the fields of government, 

international development, and the 

professions. Therefore, students 

planning to apply their language skills 

in such fields are eligible to apply for 

this program, in addition to those 

planning teaching careers. However, 

authority to use funds in this manner 

depends on final Congressional action. 

Applicants will be given an opportunity 

to amend their applications if such 

authority is not provided. 

Estimated Available Funds: The 

Administration has requested 

$14,709,000 for International Education 

and Foreign Language Studies Overseas 

Programs, of which we propose to 

allocate $5,690,000 for new awards for 

this program for FY 2010. The actual 

level of funding, if any, depends on 

final congressional action. However, we 

are inviting applications to allow 

enough time to complete the grant 

process if Congress appropriates funds 

for this program. 

Estimated Range of Fellowship 

Awards: $15,000–$60,000. 

Estimated Average Size of Fellowship 

Awards: $40,000. 

Estimated Number of Fellowship 

Awards: 142.

estimates in this notice.
