3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing

of its information collection requirements and minimize the public'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) 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
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 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.
