On Friday, the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had received a notice of proposed rule making (NPRM) from the National Science Foundation for a proposed rule on “NSF CyberCorps Scholarship for Service Program” (RIN 3145-AA64). According to the Fall 2021 Regulatory Agenda entry for this rulemaking:
“The CyberCorps Scholarship for
Service (SFS) Program is designed to recruit and train the next generation of
cybersecurity professionals to meet the needs of Federal, State, local, tribal,
and territorial government. The program provides scholarships for cybersecurity
undergraduate and graduate (MS or PhD) education funded through grants awarded
by the NSF. In return for the financial support, recipients must agree to work
for the U.S. Government or a State, local, or Tribal government after
graduation in a cybersecurity-related position, for a period equal to the
length of the scholarship. Under the statute, NSF, in consultation with the
Secretary of Education, must issue regulations that govern the process of
converting scholarships to student loans when the scholarship recipients fail
to meet their required service obligations. [emphasis added]”
