Privacy act statement

Privacy act statement
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552a(e)(3), this privacy statement serves to inform
you of why the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is requesting
the information in this registration form.
Authority: The National Science Foundation Act of 1950, as amended,
authorizes the National Science Foundation (NSF) to promote and advance
scientific progress in the United States by competitively awarding grants
and cooperative agreements for research and education in the sciences,
mathematics and engineering. The CyberCorps: Scholarship for Service
(SFS) program, as a program within the Division of Undergraduate
Education at NSF, was established under this charter. OPM's authority to
collect information in support of SFS program activities is derived from the
above law through a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between NSF
and OPM that tasks OPM with providing the operational framework for the
federal placement and tracking of students throughout the academic
phase and post-graduation federal employment obligation. Executive
Order 9397 as amended by Executive Order 13478 authorizes the collection
of the Social Security number to identify individual records in federal
personnel records systems.
Purpose and routine uses: The purpose and routine uses of collected
information are specific to the type of user (scholar, principal investigator
or agency official) registering on the site, as follows:
Scholar
Purpose: The information collected from you (the scholarship recipient) is
used to verify your eligibility and ensure compliance with program
requirements. The information is made available to SFS program
administrators, the principal investigator (PI) at your participating

academic institution and participating employers (federal agencies,
independent agencies, government corporations, commissions, quasiofficial agencies or federally funded research development centers) for the
purpose of internship and post-graduation placement. It may also be used
for studies and statistics that will not identify you.
Routine Uses: The information requested here may be shared externally as
a “routine use” and is subject to verification via paper, electronic media or
through the use of computer matching programs with participating
employers (federal agencies, independent agencies, government
corporations, commissions, quasi-official agencies or federally funded
research development centers) in order to assist you in meeting program
commitment requirements. A complete list of the routine uses can be
found in the system of records notice associated with this application, OPM
Internal 18, CyberCorps: Scholarship for Service, 79 FR 42604, July 18,
2014. The information may also be shared with the Department of Treasury
in the event you default on program requirements and scholarship funding
received must be reimbursed to the U.S. federal government.
Consequences of failure to provide information: Furnishing the data
requested is voluntary, but failure to do so will delay or make it impossible
for us to process your registration. Registering in the SFS portal and
completing an online resume is required for program participation.
Principal investigator
Purpose: The information collected from you as a principal investigator
(PI) is used to register scholarship recipients into the program and to
monitor scholar progress toward meeting program requirements. NSF and
OPM will have access to participating scholars’ records, and information
provided by you about your program will enable interested individuals to
inquire about, and vie for, SFS program scholarships. It may also be used
for studies and statistics that will not identify you.
Routine Uses: The information requested here may be shared externally as
a “routine use” and is subject to verification via paper or electronic media
records. The information collected is as follows: (1) the PI’s full name; (2)
the name of the educational institution; (3) the department or branch; (4)
the institution’s address; (5) phone and fax numbers; and (6) the PI’s email
address. This information will be made available to all site visitors. A

Agency official
Purpose: The information collected is used to allow agency officials
system access to identify participating scholarship recipients for potential
employment opportunities. Agency officials may also opt in to allow
participating scholars and academic officials access to their contact
information.

Internal 18, CyberCorps Scholarship for Service, 79FR 42604, July 18, 2014.

Public reporting burden
The public reporting burden to complete this information collection is
estimated at 5 to 30 minutes per response, depending on the user type and
activity: For each new scholar, we estimate the initial registration to take
approximately 30 minutes. For each existing active scholar, we estimate

annual maintenance of their profile and employment verification to take
15 minutes. For academic officials, we estimate the registration of new
scholars to take approximately 15 minutes and the maintenance and
review of active scholars to take 5 minutes per activity. These burden
estimates include time for reviewing instructions, searching data sources,
gathering and maintaining the data needed and completing and reviewing
the collected information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number and expiration date. Send
comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this
collection information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to:
