Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in

following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance

Title of Collection: Survey of
Postgraduate Outcomes for the
Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation
Research Abroad (DDRA) Program.
OMB Control Number: 1840–0840.
Type of Review: Reinstatement with
change of a previously approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private
Sector.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 157.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 40.
Abstract: The purpose of Section
102(b)(6) of the Mutual Educational and
Cultural Exchange Act of 1961
(Fulbright-Hays Act) is to promote and
develop modern foreign language
training and area studies throughout the
educational structure of the United
States. To help accomplish this
objective, fellowships are awarded
through U.S. institutions of higher
education to American doctoral
dissertation fellows enabling them to
conduct overseas research and enhance
their foreign language proficiency.
Under the Fulbright-Hays Doctoral
Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA)
program, individual scholars apply
through eligible institutions for an
institutional grant to support the
research fellowship. These institutions
administer the program in cooperation
with the U.S. Department of Education
(US/ED). This information collection is
the tool that can gather the information
necessary to determine the performance
of the fellows and the program. Since
this collection is currently in a
discontinued status, this collection
package is a reinstatement with change.
