SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Borlaug Fellowship Program.
OMB Number: 0551-New.
Expiration Date of Approval: Three years from approval date.
Type of Request: Existing collection in use without an OMB control
number.
Abstract: The Borlaug International Agricultural Science and
Technology Fellowship Program (Borlaug) was established in 2008.
Borlaug promotes agricultural productivity, food security, trade, and
economic growth by providing training and collaborative research
opportunities to early and mid-career scientists, researchers, or
policymakers from eligible countries. An eligible country is a
developing country, as determined by the Secretary using a gross
national income per capita test selected by the Secretary. Since the
program's inception, USDA has sponsored more than 920 Borlaug Fellows
from 69 countries.
To achieve its objectives, Borlaug relies on the solicitation for
qualified program applicants through a written application. FAS Posts
across the globe provide this application to potential Fellows to
assist in determining the adequacy of their candidacy alongside FAS
Washington. The application is designed to capture the professional
status of the applicant, the applicant's personal contact information,
and the applicant's suitability for the program. Thus, the Borlaug
application is an integral tool to Fellowship Programs Division and
FAS' strategic goals at large.
In summary, excluding discrete questions related to program
objectives, the Borlaug application collects the following personal
information (that may be considered Personal Identifiable Information
(PII)): first name, middle name, last name, gender, salutation, birth
date, birth city, country of birth, citizenship country, country of
residence, home/mobile phone, work phone, permanent home address, work
address, personal email, work email, and emergency contact information
(family contact: name, phone, and email), supervisors' contact
information (name, email, phone number), professional contacts'
information (name, email, phone number), and passport information.
Estimate of Burden: The public reporting burden for each respondent
resulting from information collection under Borlaug varies in direct
relation to the number of fellowships that each respondent participates
in.
Type of Respondents: Individuals.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 145 per annum.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1 per annum.
Estimated Total Annual Burden of Respondents: 218 hours per annum.

Request for Comments: Send comments regarding (a) whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information
including validity of the methodology and assumption used; (c) ways to
