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 public comment

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 the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of information technology. Please note that
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered
public records.
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.

PRA Coordinator, Strategic Collections and Clearance, Governance and
Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning,
Evaluation and Policy Development.
