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; (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: Fiscal Operations Report for 2017-2018 and 
Application to Participate 2019-2020 (FISAP) and Reallocation Form.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-0030.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments; 
Private Sector.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 4,162.

[[Page 5766]]

    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 94,916.
    Abstract: The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) (Pub. L. 110-
315) was enacted on August 14, 2008 and reauthorized the Higher 
Education Act of 1965, as amended, (HEA). It requires participating 
Title IV institutions to apply for funds and report expenditures for 
the Federal Perkins Loan (Perkins), the Federal Supplemental 
Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) and the Federal Work-Study (FWS) 
Programs on an annual basis.
    The data submitted electronically in the Fiscal Operations Report 
and Application to Participate (FISAP) is used by the Department of 
Education to determine the institution's funding need for the award 
year and monitor program effectiveness and accountability of fund 
expenditures. The data is used in conjunction with institutional 
program reviews to assess the administrative capability and compliance 
of the applicant. There are no other resources for collecting this 
data.
    The HEA requires that if an institution anticipates not using all 
of its allocated funds for the FWS, and FSEOG programs by the end of an 
award year, it must specify the anticipated remaining unused amount to 
the Secretary, who reduces the institution's allocation accordingly.
    The changes to the Perkins Loan Program in this annual update 
reflect the immediate reporting needs. There will be more extensive 
changes to the FISAP in next year's iteration to accommodate the 
continuing Perkins program close out.
