    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 10.

    Abstract: The Higher Education Opportunity Act, Public Law 110-315 
includes provisions for the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, 
in section 448 that promotes the use of comprehensive work-learning-
service programs as a valuable education approach when it is an 
integral part of the institution's education program and a part of a 
financial plan which decreases reliance on grants and loans. The Work 
Colleges Application and Agreement form is the tool for an institution 
to apply for participation in this program. The data will be used by 
the Department to assess an institution's preparedness to participate 
in this program and as a signed agreement to comply with all 
requirements for participating in the program. The data is used in 
conjunction with institutional program reviews to assess the 
administrative capability and compliance of the applicant.
