SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CyberCorps[supreg]: Scholarship for

Foundation, in collaboration with the Office of Personnel Management 
and the Department of Homeland Security, in accordance with the 
Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113-274) as amended by 
the National Defense Authorization Act FY18 (15 U.S.C. 7442). This 
initiative reflects the critical need for Information Technology (IT) 
professionals, industrial control system security professionals, and 
security managers in government. Students identified by their 
institutions for SFS Scholarships must meet selection criteria based on 
prior academic performance, likelihood of success in obtaining the 
degree, and suitability for government employment. Each scholarship 
recipient, as a condition of receiving a scholarship under the program, 
enters into an agreement under which the recipient agrees to work 
during the summer between academic terms and work for a period equal to 
the length of the scholarship, following receipt of the student's 
degree, in the cyber security mission of:
    (1) An executive agency (as defined in the United States Code, 
Title 5, Section 105;
    (2) Congress, including any agency, entity, office, or commission 
established in the legislative branch;
    (3) an interstate agency;
    (4) a State, local, or Tribal government; or
    (5) a State, local, or Tribal government-affiliated non-profit that 
is critical infrastructure (as defined in section 1016(e) of the USA 
Patriot Act (42 U.S.C. 5195c(e)). Approval of the CyberCorps[supreg]: 
Scholarship for Service (SFS) Registration system is necessary to 
continue management and operation of the program in accordance with the 
Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113-274) as amended by 
the National Defense Authorization Act FY18 (15 U.S.C. 7442), and to 
facilitate the timely registration, selection and placement of program-
enrolled students in government agencies.
    The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in 
comments that:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    4. Ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection of
