Abstract:
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Education collects, evaluates and assesses student data and information for the purpose of selecting successful candidates, generating internal NOAA reports and articles to demonstrate the success of its program. NOAA requires applicants to its student scholarship programs to complete an application for NOAA undergraduate and graduate scholarship programs. Part of the application package requires a letter of reference (e.g., academic professors and advisors) to complete a NOAA student scholar reference form in support of the scholarship application. NOAA student scholar alumni are also requested to provide information to NOAA for internal tracking purposes. In addition, the collected student data supports NOAA program performance measures.

Short Statement:
Adjustments: The OEd estimates that the number of undergraduate scholarship programs application will increase by 200 applications and 400 related reference forms, adding 1600 and 400 hours, respectively. The estimated responses for the student tracker database have decreased by 39 responses and 624 hours, because the number of EEP grant recipients has decreased (grant awards have closed out). Program change: The OEd estimates that the graduate scholarship program application will require 2 hours less to complete as a result of the application form having being streamlined, decreasing hours for that information collection by 80. This is the only form whose changes have affected burden. There is a net gain of 561 responses and 1,296 hours.
