    Title of Proposal: The Survey of Community Development Work Study 
Program participants.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
information is being collected to evaluate the Office of University 
Partnership's Community Development Work Study Program (CDWSP). The 
objective of this research is to examine the CDWSP's relative 
attainment of its goals to expand educational and employment 
opportunities for the economically disadvantaged and minority students. 
Students who have participated in the CDWSP from 1987-1995 will be 
surveyed to obtain information on their educational access, skills-
building, job experience, and career attainment. This information will 
assist the Department in evaluating and administrating the CDWSP.
    Members of affected public: A sample of 750 students who have 
participated in the CDWSP from 1987-1995 will be surveyed.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: Information will be collected by a 
one-time mail questionnaire with 750 CDWSP participants. These mail 
questionnaires will take an average of twenty-five minutes to complete. 
This means a total of approximately 313 hours of response for the 
information collection. If necessary, one-time telephone interviews may 
be conducted utilizing the mail questionnaire instrument to achieve an 
adequate response rate.
    Status of the proposed information collection: Pending OMB 
approval.

    Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: September 10, 1997.
