SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. It also 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;

[[Page 38161]]

(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: Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary
Education (FIPSE) Annual Performance Report.
OMB Control Number: 1840-0793.
Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 100.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 4,000.
Abstract: The Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education
(FIPSE) works to improve postsecondary education through grants to
postsecondary educational institutions and agencies. Such grants are
awarded to non-profit organizations on the basis of competitively
reviewed applications submitted to FIPSE under the First in the World
(FITW) Program. This collection includes a performance report for use
with FITW programs 84.116F and 84.116X. We request clearance of one
annual performance report for FITW programs 84.116F and 84.116X that
will serve the dual purpose of an annual and final performance report.
In this collection there is one (1) form, the annual performance report
for FITW programs that includes a FITW program burden statement. The
collection of the requested data in the performance report is necessary
for the evaluation and assessment of FITW-funded programs and for
assessment of continuation funding for each grantee.
