SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Affected Entities: Entities affected by

this action include approximately 400

Goldwater Scholars and their respective

Academic and Financial Aid Officers.

Title: Goldwater Foundation payment

Request Form. Abstract: Pub. L. 99–166 authorizes

the Goldwater Foundation to conduct an

annual nationwide undergraduate

scholarship competition for students

pursuing careers in mathematics, the

natural sciences and engineering. This

Information Collection Form is used by

the Foundation to verify a Goldwater

Scholarship recipient’s academic

standing and to authorize the

disbursement of funds to the Scholar

each term.

The Foundation uses this form to

ensure that only authorized expenses

are requested and to avoid the

duplication of other scholarship funding

which is prohibited. Less frequent

collection of this information would not

allow the Foundation to verify a

Scholar’s academic and financial status

as required each term. Further, less

frequent collection would case the

Foundation to expend funds sooner

than would be fiscally responsible,

since all funds are interest bearing until

expended. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act

of 1995 (the PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520)

Federal agencies must obtain approval

from the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) for each collection of

information they conduct or sponsor.

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR

1320.3(c) and includes agency requests

or requirements that members of the

public submit reports, keep records, or

provide information to a third party.

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44

U.S.C. (c)(2)(A) requires Federal

agencies to provide a 60-day notice in

the Federal Register concerning each

proposed collection of information,

including each proposed extension of an

existing collection of information before

submitting the collection to OMB for

approval. To comply with this

requirement, the Goldwater Foundation

is publishing notice of the proposed

collection of information listed below.

With respect to the following

collection of information, The
