5. Integrity and Performance System: 

If you receive an award under this grant 

program that over the course of the 

project period may exceed the 

simplified acquisition threshold 

(currently $250,000), under 2 CFR 

200.205(a)(2) we must make a judgment 

about your integrity, business ethics, 

and record of performance under 

Federal awards—that is, the risk posed 

by you as an applicant—before we make 

an award. In doing so, we must consider 

any information about you that is in the 

integrity and performance system 

(currently referred to as the Federal 

Awardee Performance and Integrity 

Information System (FAPIIS)), 

accessible through SAM. You may 

review and comment on any 

information about yourself that a 

Federal agency previously entered and 

that is currently in FAPIIS. 

Please note that, if the total value of 

your currently active grants, cooperative 

agreements, and procurement contracts 

from the Federal Government exceeds 

$10,000,000, the requirements in 2 CFR 

part 200, Appendix XII, require you to 

report certain integrity information to 

FAPIIS semiannually. Please review the 

requirements in 2 CFR part 200, 

Appendix XII, if this grant plus all the 

other Federal funds you receive exceed 

$10,000,000.

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed,

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

Title of Collection: Cancer Treatment 

Deferment. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 5,000. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 833. 

Abstract: The Department of 

Education (Department) is requesting an 

emergency clearance for a new 

information collection. This collection 

will be used to obtain information from 

federal student loan borrowers to

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 21 / Thursday, January 31, 2019 / Notices 685 

determine eligibility for a deferment of 

repayment of their federal student loan 

while receiving cancer treatment and for 

the 6-month period after such treatment. 

Section 309 of the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2019, included a 

provision for the Department to 

implement this new basis for deferment. 

It was effective immediately upon 

enactment. 

Additional Information: An 

emergency clearance approval for the 

use of the system is described below 

due to the following conditions: 

On September 28, 2018, the President 

signed the Consolidated Appropriations 

Act, 2019 into law. Section 309 of the 

law included a new deferment for Direct 

Loan, FFEL Program, and Perkins Loan 

borrowers who are receiving cancer 

treatment and for the 6-month period 

following such treatment. The law was 

immediately effective, meaning that 

borrowers can immediately request and, 

if eligible, should receive the deferment. 

Because the law provided no time to 

implement before the deferment became 

effective, the Department requests that 

OMB allow the Department to clear the 

collection associated with the 

implementation for the Cancer 

Treatment Deferment using the 

emergency clearance procedures of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

outlined in 42 U.S.C. 3507(j) by January 

24, 2019. 

Dated: January 28, 2019.

Title of Collection: Mathematics and 

Science Partnerships Program: Annual 

Performance Report. 

OMB Control Number: 1810–0669. 

Type of Review: A reinstatement of a 

previously approved information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 450. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 4,500. 

Abstract: Implemented under the No 

Child Left Behind Act of 2001, Title II, 

Part B, the Mathematics and Science 

Partnerships (MSP) program is a 

formula grant program strategically 

designed to improve the content 

knowledge of teachers and the academic 

performance of students in mathematics 

and science. By funding collaborative 

partnerships between science, 

technology, engineering, and 

mathematics (STEM) departments at 

institutions of higher education (IHEs), 

and high-need school districts, the MSP 

program enables the delivery of 

intensive, content-rich professional 

development intended to improve 

classroom instruction and, ultimately, to 

raise student achievement in math and 

science. Because MSP is a formula grant 

program, the size of individual state 

awards is based on student population 

and poverty rates, with no state 

receiving less than one half of one 

percent of the total appropriation. Each 

state is then responsible for 

administering a competitive grant 

making process to determine the 

distribution of funds across proposed 

MSP projects. The program office is 

seeking to renew this collection to allow 

it to continue to collect Annual 

Performance Reports from those 

grantees that will need to seek a no cost 

extension.
