Proposed Priority—Undergraduate 

International Studies and Foreign 

Language (UISFL) Program 

AGENCY: Office of Postsecondary 

Education, Department of Education. 

ACTION: Proposed priority. 

SUMMARY: The Acting Assistant 

Secretary for Postsecondary Education 

proposes a priority for the UISFL 

Program administered by the 

International and Foreign Language 

Education (IFLE) Office. The Acting 

Assistant Secretary may use this priority 

for competitions in fiscal year (FY) 2014 

and later years. We take this action to 

focus Federal financial assistance on an 

identified national need. We intend the 

priority to address a gap in the types of 

institutions, faculty and students that 

have historically benefited from 

international education opportunities.

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

the Undergraduate International Studies 

and Foreign Language (UISFL) Program 

is to provide grants for planning, 

developing, and carrying out programs 

to strengthen and improve 

undergraduate instruction in 

international studies and foreign 

languages. 

Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1124. 

Applicable Program Regulations: 34 

CFR parts 655 and 658. 

Proposed Priority: This notice 

contains one proposed priority. 

Background: 

Through the UISFL Program, the 

Department makes awards to 

institutions of higher education, 

consortia of institutions of higher 

education, partnerships between 

nonprofit educational organizations and 

institutions of higher education, or 

public and private nonprofit agencies 

and organizations, including 

professional and scholarly associations, 

to plan, develop, and carry out programs 

to strengthen and improve 

undergraduate instruction in 

international studies and foreign 

languages. 

The objective of the UISFL Program is 

to develop and improve undergraduate 

curricula, programs, courses, and 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

15088 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 52 / Tuesday, March 18, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

materials in international studies and 

foreign languages. 

The Department proposes a priority 

for UISFL applications from MinorityServing Institutions (MSIs)(as defined in 

this notice) or community colleges (as 

defined in this notice), whether 

individually or as part of a consortium. 

If the MSI or community college is the 

lead applicant for a consortium, the 

application will receive a greater 

number of points under this priority 

than it would if the MSI or community 

college is a partner in a consortia 

application and not the lead applicant. 

This priority aims to increase the 

number of MSIs and community 

colleges that become grantees under this 

program, in order to increase their 

students’ access to academic 

coursework and instructional activities 

and training that would better prepare 

them for the 21st century global 

economy, careers in international 

service, and for lifelong engagement 

with the diverse communities in which 

they will live, whether at home or 

abroad. It also aims to increase the 

access of students attending MSIs and 

community colleges to academic 

coursework, instructional activities and 

training related to foreign language and 

international studies, ultimately 

increasing access to careers in 

international fields for these students. 

The Department’s ‘‘International 

Strategy’’ expresses the importance of 

strengthening ‘‘the global competencies 

of all U.S. students, including those 

from traditionally disadvantaged 

groups.’’ Community colleges and MSIs 

are heavily populated by students from 

traditionally disadvantaged groups. 

Currently, opportunities for 

international studies, foreign language 

learning, study abroad and other 

international studies and activities tend 

to be more limited at two-year 

institutions than at four-year 

institutions. In addition, community 

colleges and MSIs account for a small 

percentage of all grant recipients in 

programs funded under title VI of the 

Higher Education Act of 1965, as 

amended (HEA). Targeting outreach to 

these institutions will expand the reach 

of the UISFL program to traditionally 

disadvantaged groups. 

For this priority, we propose a 

definition of ‘‘Minority-Serving 

Institution’’ that includes institutions 

eligible to receive assistance under 

sections 316 through 320 of part A of 

title III, under part B of title III, or under 

title V of the HEA. 

The Department proposes to use this 

definition because both title III and title 

V programs target college student 

populations that are underrepresented 

in international education. 

Title III of the HEA reflects our 

national interest in supporting those 

institutions of higher education that 

serve low-income and minority students 

so that access to, and quality of, 

postsecondary education opportunities 

may be enhanced for all students. Under 

title III of the HEA, institutions may 

receive a designation of eligibility 

depending on their submitted 

institutional evidence documenting 

their students’ income and demographic 

data. 

Title V of the HEA targets HispanicServing Institutions because of the large 

percentage of Hispanic Americans who 

are at high risk of not enrolling or not 

graduating from institutions of higher 

education. The law was designed to 

reduce the disparity between the 

enrollment of non-Hispanic white 

students and Hispanic students in 

postsecondary education, which 

continues to rise. 

We also propose a definition of 

‘‘community college’’ that is broader 

than the definition in the HEA. The 

proposed definition of ‘‘community 

college’’ in this notice includes some 

institutions that award bachelor’s and 

graduate degrees. The definition of 

‘‘junior or community college’’ in 

section 312(f) of the HEA (20 U.S.C. 

1058(f)) excludes such institutions. The 

Department proposes this definition so 

that institutions that offer bachelor’s or 

graduate degrees are eligible to apply for 

funding under this program, but only if 

more than 50 percent of the degrees they 

award are degrees and certificates that 

are not bachelor’s or graduate degrees. 

The Department proposes this definition 

in order to include institutions that 

serve significant numbers of students 

enrolled in programs traditionally 

offered by community colleges, such as 

associate degree and certificate 

programs. 

Proposed Priority: Applications from 

Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) (as 

defined in this notice) or community 

colleges (as defined in this notice), 

whether as individual applicants or as 

part of a consortium. 

An application from a consortium that 

has an MSI or community college as the 

lead applicant will receive more points 

under this priority than applications 

where the MSI or community college is 

a partner in the consortium but not the 

lead applicant. 

A consortium must undertake 

activities designed to incorporate 

foreign languages into the curriculum of 

the MSI or community college and to 

improve foreign language and 

international or area studies instruction 

on the MSI or community college 

campus. 

For the purpose of this priority: 

Community college means an 

institution that meets the definition in 

section 312(f) of the HEA (20 U.S.C. 

1058(f)); or, an institution of higher 

education (as defined in section 101 of 

the HEA (20 U.S.C. 1001)) that awards 

degrees and certificates, more than 50 

percent of which are not bachelor’s 

degrees (or an equivalent), or master’s, 

professional, or other advanced degrees. 

Minority-Serving Institution (MSI) 

means an institution that is eligible to 

receive assistance under sections 316 

through 320 of part A of title III, under 

part B of title III, or under title V of the 

HEA. 

Types of Priorities: 

When inviting applications for a 

competition using one or more 

priorities, we designate the type of each 

priority as absolute, competitive 

preference, or invitational through a 

notice in the Federal Register. The 

effect of each type of priority follows: 

Absolute priority: Under an absolute 

priority, we consider only applications 

that meet the priority (34 CFR 

75.105(c)(3)). 

Competitive preference priority: 

Under a competitive preference priority, 

we give competitive preference to an 

application by (1) Awarding additional 

points, depending on the extent to 

which the application meets the priority 

(34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i)); or (2) Selecting 

an application that meets the priority 

over an application of comparable merit 

that does not meet the priority (34 CFR 

75.105(c)(2)(ii)). 

Invitational priority: Under an 

invitational priority, we are particularly 

interested in applications that meet the 

priority. However, we do not give an 

application that meets the priority a 

preference over other applications (34 

CFR 75.105(c)(1)). 

Final Priority: 

We will announce the final priority in 

a notice in the Federal Register. We will 

determine the final priority after 

considering responses to this notice and 

other information available to the 

Department. This notice does not 

preclude us from proposing additional 

priorities, requirements, definitions, or 

selection criteria, subject to meeting 

applicable rulemaking requirements. 

Note: This notice does not solicit 

applications. In any year in which we choose 

to use the priority we invite applications 

through a notice in the Federal Register.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 52 / Tuesday, March 18, 2014 / Proposed Rules 15089 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Regulatory Impact Analysis 

Under Executive Order 12866, the 

Secretary must determine whether this 

regulatory action is ‘‘significant’’ and, 

therefore, subject to the requirements of 

the Executive order and subject to 

review by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB). Section 3(f) of Executive 

Order 12866 defines a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ as an action likely to 

result in a rule that may— 

(1) Have an annual effect on the 

economy of $100 million or more, or 

adversely affect a sector of the economy, 

productivity, competition, jobs, the 

environment, public health or safety, or 

State, local, or tribal governments or 

communities in a material way (also 

referred to as an ‘‘economically 

significant’’ rule); 

(2) Create serious inconsistency or 

otherwise interfere with an action taken 

or planned by another agency; 

(3) Materially alter the budgetary 

impacts of entitlement grants, user fees, 

or loan programs or the rights and 

obligations of recipients thereof; or 

(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues 

arising out of legal mandates, the 

President’s priorities, or the principles 

stated in the Executive order. 

This proposed regulatory action is not 

a significant regulatory action subject to 

review by OMB under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866. 

We have also reviewed this regulatory 

action under Executive Order 13563, 

which supplements and explicitly 

reaffirms the principles, structures, and 

definitions governing regulatory review 

established in Executive Order 12866. 

To the extent permitted by law, 

Executive Order 13563 requires that an 

agency— 

(1) Propose or adopt regulations only 

upon a reasoned determination that 

their benefits justify their costs 

(recognizing that some benefits and 

costs are difficult to quantify); 

(2) Tailor its regulations to impose the 

least burden on society, consistent with 

obtaining regulatory objectives and 

taking into account—among other things 

and to the extent practicable—the costs 

of cumulative regulations; 

(3) In choosing among alternative 

regulatory approaches, select those 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety, 

and other advantages; distributive 

impacts; and equity); 

(4) To the extent feasible, specify 

performance objectives, rather than the 

behavior or manner of compliance a 

regulated entity must adopt; and 

(5) Identify and assess available 

alternatives to direct regulation, 

including economic incentives—such as 

user fees or marketable permits—to 

encourage the desired behavior, or 

provide information that enables the 

public to make choices. 

Executive Order 13563 also requires 

an agency ‘‘to use the best available 

techniques to quantify anticipated 

present and future benefits and costs as 

accurately as possible.’’ The Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs of 

OMB has emphasized that these 

techniques may include ‘‘identifying 

changing future compliance costs that 

might result from technological 

innovation or anticipated behavioral 

changes.’’ 

We are issuing the proposed priority 

only upon a reasoned determination 

that its benefits would justify its costs. 

In choosing among alternative 

regulatory approaches, we selected 

those approaches that would maximize 

net benefits. Based on the analysis that 

follows, the Department believes that 

this regulatory action is consistent with 

the principles in Executive Order 13563. 

We also have determined that this 

regulatory action would not unduly 

interfere with State, local, and tribal 

governments in the exercise of their 

governmental functions. 

In accordance with both Executive 

orders, the Department has assessed the 

potential costs and benefits, both 

quantitative and qualitative, of this 

regulatory action. The potential costs 

are those resulting from statutory 

requirements and those we have 

determined as necessary for 

administering the Department’s 

programs and activities. 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

As part of its continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burden, the Department provides the 

general public and Federal agencies 

with an opportunity to comment on 

proposed and continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the PRA 

(44 U.S.C. 3506 (c)(2)(A)). 

The Department plans to revise the 

information collection for the UISFL 

Program by including more detailed 

guidance to assist applicants in 

responding to the Plan of Evaluation 

selection criterion found in sections 

655.31 and 669.21; and, by requiring 

one new performance measure form 

(PMF). The PMF will require applicants 

to identify project goals and projectspecific measures for the UISFL project 

they propose to conduct. Information 

will also be provided on how 

applicants, should they become 

grantees, will meet and report on the 

Government Performance and Results 

Act (GPRA) measures that have been 

developed for the UISFL Program. The 

IFLE Office developed this PMF so that 

applicants may propose projects with 

high-quality implementation plans at 

the outset and that will require them to 

lay a stronger foundation for reporting 

progress and performance results. 

Additionally, the form will give the 

Department the capacity to collect and 

analyze information that is more useful 

and valid in demonstrating to Congress 

and other stakeholders the impact of 

these programs on the entities they 

serve. This form may result in some 

additional time requirements in the 

application preparation, but will reduce 

the total burden hours for future grantee 

reporting as the templates are designed 

for easy data collection and reporting. 

This form also facilitates the process of 

developing a sound evaluation plan 

during the application phase of the 

process. 

The Plan of Evaluation criterion in the 

UISFL Program regulations evaluates 

‘‘the quality of the evaluation plan for 

the project,’’ and provides that ‘‘the 

methods of evaluation are appropriate 

for the project and, to the extent 

possible, are objective and produce data 

that are quantifiable’’ among other 

factors. The detailed guidance that the 

Department will include in the 

information collection (application) 

advises applicants on how to respond to 

this criterion in a more comprehensive 

and compelling manner. 

In order to standardize the kind of 

performance data to be requested from 

applicants, the Department developed a 

project-specific PMF and a GPRA PMF. 

These forms contain the same elements: 

(a) Project goal statement; (b) 

Performance measure; (c) Project 

activity; (d) Data/Indicators; (e) 

Frequency of collection; (f) Data source; 

and (g) Baseline and targets, but the 

purposes for the forms differ. 

Applicants will submit a projectspecific form for each project-specific 

goal that the institutions have deemed 

as important to the proposed UISFL 

project. For that reason, the total 

number of project-specific PMFs in each 

application will vary. Applicants will 

also be provided with a sample GPRA 

PMF for reference purposes. 

The Department expects the new 

evaluation plan for this information 

collection will increase the applicant 

burden by an estimated 10 hours per 

response for a total burden of 110 hours. 

The Department believes that this 

additional time will improve the quality 

of the submitted applications, and 

subsequently improve the application 

review, grant making, and performance
