information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector, State, Local and 
Tribal Governments.

    Abstract: The Department of Education is requesting a reinstatement

new awards. The FY 2016 application incorporates new competitive 
preference priorities and removes the previously-used invitational 
priorities.
