Abstract: This submission requests approval on an emergency basis for a new collection of information that would require students entering the Department of Education’s Back-to-School Video Contest, entitled, “I Am What I Learn” to electronically register basic information in an online form via www.ed.gov in order to enter the contest. The information would include full name, date of birth, phone number, email address, currently enrolled school year, name of school and city and state for each student entering the contest. Approval is requested on an emergency basis by September 4, 2009. Approval is needed by September 4, 2009 in order for the Department to prepare, organize and adequately publicize the contest prior to President Obama’s Back-To-School address on September 8, 2009. The video contest is a critical component in engaging student involvement in the White House and Department’s collaborative effort to highlight the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year.

Emergency Justfication: The Department’s Back-To-School video contest was an idea endorsed by the White House Communications, Domestic Policy Council and New Media departments in pursuing student involvement. The purpose of the Department’s “I Am What I Learn” video contest is to engage students by encouraging them to publicly state, through visual media, why education is important, and how their education will help them achieve their dreams. The video contest will be mentioned in a letter from Secretary Duncan to principals across the country on Monday, August 24, 2009.
