Abstract: The data collection under this request are governed by 34 CFR Section 304.1-304.32 of the December 9, 1999 regulations that implement section 673(h) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Amendments of 1997 which requires that individuals who receive a scholarship through the Personnel Preparation Program funded under the Act subsequently provide special education and related services to children with disabilities for a period of two years for every year for which assistance was received. Scholarship recipients who do not satisfy the requirements of the regulations must repay all or part of the cost of assistance in accordance with regulations issued by the Secretary. These regulations implement requirements governing among other things, the service obligation for scholars, oversight by grantees, and repayment of scholarship. In order for the Federal government to ensure the goals of the program are achieved, certain data collection, record keeping, and documentation are necessary.

Short Statement: The burden has decreased, because the grants awarded in FY2004 and earlier have ended or will end in the near future; therefore, no new scholars will be admitted and no agreements will be made. In addition, many scholars have completed their service obligation or repaid part, or all, of the amount of their scholarship, decreasing the number of scholars’ service obligations Institutions of Higher Education(IHEs) need to track or report.
