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

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; (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.

    Dated: August 15, 2016.

Acting Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Office of 
the Chief Privacy Officer, Office of Management.
