DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Notice of Proposed Information 

Collection Requests 

AGENCY: Department of Education. 

SUMMARY: The Acting Director, 

Information Collection Clearance 

Division, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of 

Management, invites comments on the 

proposed information collection 

requests as required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before March 8, 

2010. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) provide interested 

Federal agencies and the public an early 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. OMB may amend or 

waive the requirement for public 

consultation to the extent that public 

participation in the approval process 

would defeat the purpose of the 

information collection, violate State or 

Federal law, or substantially interfere 

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The Acting 

Director, Information Collection 

Clearance Division, Regulatory 

Information Management Services, 

Office of Management, publishes that 

notice containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission 

of these requests to OMB. Each 

proposed information collection, 

grouped by office, contains the 

following: (1) Type of review requested, 

e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or 

reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of 

the collection; (4) Description of the 

need for, and proposed use of, the 

information; (5) Respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6) 

Reporting and/or Recordkeeping 

burden. OMB invites public comment. 

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.

Burden:

Burden Hours: 600. 

Abstract: The Higher Education 

Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) 

amended Title III, Part A of the Higher 

Education Act to include Section 318— 

The Predominantly Black Institutions 

(PBI) Program. Unlike the previous PBI 

Program (authorized by the College Cost 

Reduction and Access Act of 2007), 

which was competitive and focused on 

programs in the science, technology, 

engineering and mathematics (STEM) 

fields, the PBI program authorized 

under the HEOA is an institutional aid 

program and grants are based on a 

formula rather than being competitive. 

All institutions who qualify as PBIs and 

submit the required materials will 

receive a portion of the total 

appropriation based on a formula. The 

PBI Program makes grant awards to 

eligible colleges and universities to 

plan, develop, undertake and 

implement programs to enhance the 

institution’s capacity to serve more lowand middle-income Black American 

students; to expand higher education 

opportunities for eligible students by 

encouraging college preparation and 

student persistence in secondary school 

and postsecondary education; and to 

strengthen the financial ability of the 

institution to serve the academic needs 

of these students. Allowable activities 

are numerous and include academic 

instruction, teacher education, faculty 

development, equipment purchase, 

construction and maintenance, and 

tutoring and counseling services. This 

information collection is necessary to 

comply with Section 318 of Title III, 

Part A of the HEA as amended. 

Requests for copies of the proposed 

information collection request may be 

accessed from http://edicsweb.ed.gov, 

by selecting the ‘‘Browse Pending 

Collections’’ link and by clicking on 

link number 4160. When you access the 

information collection, click on 

‘‘Download Attachments’’ to view. 

Written requests for information should 

be addressed to U.S. Department of 

Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., 

LBJ, Washington, DC 20202–4537.
