SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with

reporting burden. It also

[[Page 8080]]

helps the public understand the 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 addressing the following 
issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to 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: Application Package for Grants Under the 
Minority Science & Engineering Improvement Program (MSEIP) (1894-0001).
    OMB Control Number: 1840-0109.
    Type of Review: A reinstatement of a previously approved 
information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 200.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 8,000.
    Abstract: The purpose of the Minority Science and Engineering 
Improvement Program (MSEIP) is to effect long-range improvement in 
science and engineering education at predominantly minority 
institutions and to increase the flow of underrepresented ethnic 
minorities, particularly minority women, into scientific and 
technological careers. MSEIP supports the Federal Government's efforts 
to improve and expand the scientific and technological capacity of the 
United States to support its technological and economic 
competitiveness.
    For the purpose of planning for a competition in fiscal year (FY) 
2015 for grants under the MSEIP, this application package includes 
program background, application instructions, and forms needed to 
submit a complete application to the Department of Education.
    The information on the applicant's eligibility form will be 
collected annually from applicants that desire to apply for awards 
under Title III, Part E--Minority Science and Engineering Improvement 
Program (MSEIP). Applicants for MSEIP include public and private, 
nonprofit postsecondary institutions, nonprofit science-oriented 
organizations, and professional scientific societies. Without the 
collection of this information, the Department cannot properly screen 
applicants for eligibility, and therefore cannot award new grants in 
accordance with the Congressional intent of this program. The program 
staff and peer reviewers will use the information collected to evaluate 
applications and make funding decisions.
