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

Title of Collection: Application Forms and Instructions for the
Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Program.
OMB Control Number: 1840-0501.
Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 300.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 900.
Abstract: The Department of Education (US/ED) is responsible for
administering the Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad (SA) Program under
authority of Section 102(b)(6) of the Mutual Educational and Cultural
Exchange (Fulbright-Hays) Act of 1961, as amended. The program is
administered under the policies established by the J. William Fulbright
Foreign Scholarship Board (FSB), a 12-member body appointed by the
President. US/ED recruits and recommends candidates for seminar
positions abroad in accordance with FSB policies, which support the
purposes of the Fulbright-Hays Act. The application is necessary in
order for the Department to award funds under this program.
This is a revision of a currently approved collection. The
suggested changes from the currently approved application are minor,
and consist of mainly updated language to reflect improvements in
clarity and minor updates to instructions. The burden of the applicants
is an average of three hours for each applicant and includes the time
needed to obtain references. There is no change in burden per response.
This collection is being submitted under the Streamlined Clearance
Process for Discretionary Grant Information Collections (1894-0001).
Therefore, the 30-day public comment period notice will be the only
public comment notice published for this information collection
request.
