SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Annual Coverdale Fellows Census.
    OMB Control Number: 0420-***.
    Type of Request: New.
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Respondents Obligation to Reply: Voluntary.
    Burden to the Public:
    Estimated burden (hours) of the collection of information:
    a. Number of respondents: 223.
    b. Frequency of response: 1 time.
    c. Completion time: 15 minutes.
    d. Annual burden hours: 55.75 hours.
    General Description of Collection: The Paul D. Coverdell Fellows 
program is a graduate school benefit for returned Peace Corps 
Volunteers (RPCVs). The program, managed by the Peace Corps Office of 
University Programs, is made in formal partnership with graduate degree 
granting educational institutions across the United States. The 
partnering institutions are required to offer financial support to 
RPCVs who, in turn, complete substantive internships related to their 
program of study in underserved communities in the United States. The 
Office of University Programs requires each Coverdell Fellow partner 
university to submit an annual Census Report to ensure it is meeting 
the requirements agreed upon in its signed standard Memorandum of 
Agreement between the Peace Corps and the institution. Collection of 
this information allows the Peace Corps Office of University Programs 
to ensure the university is providing all the necessary benefits and 
support to the Fellows (RPCV graduate school students) enrolled in the 
program. Although this collection is called a ``Census Report'' no 
statistical methods are employed.
    Request for Comment: The Peace Corps invites comments on whether 
the proposed collections of information are necessary for proper 
performance of the functions of the Peace Corps, including whether the 
information will have practical use; the accuracy of the agency's 
estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, 
including the validity of the information to be collected; and, ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information 
technology.

    This notice is issued in Washington, DC, on February 1, 2024.

FOIA/Privacy Act Officer.
