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

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: Native American 

Career and Technical Education 

Program (NACTEP) Performance 

Reports. 

OMB Control Number: 1830–0573. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of an existing collection of 

information. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 30. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Abstract: The Native American Career 

and Technical Education Program 

(NACTEP) is requesting approval to 

collect semi-annual, annual/ 

continuation reports, and final 

performance reports from currently 

funded NACTEP grantees. This 

information is necessary to (1) manage 

and monitor the current NACTEP 

grantees, and (2) award continuation 

grants for years four and five of the 

grantees’ performance periods. The 

continuation performance reports will 

include budgets, performance/statistical 

reports, GPRA reports, and evaluation 

reports. The data, collected from the 

performance reports, will be used to 

determine if the grantees successfully 

met their project goals and objectives, so 

that NACTEP staff can award 

continuation grants. Final performance 

reports are required to determine 

whether or not the grant is in 

compliance with the NACTEP grant 

program requirements.

(NCFMEA). Parts of this meeting will be

invited to attend those portions. 

Meeting Date and Place: The public 

meeting will be held on Wednesday, 

October 30, 2013, from 8:00 a.m. until

Function: The NCFMEA was 

established by the Secretary of 

Education under Section 102 of the 

Higher Education Act of 1965, as 

amended. The NCFMEA’s 

responsibilities are to: 

• Upon request of a foreign country, 

evaluate the standards of accreditation 

applied to medical schools in that 

country; and, 

• Determine the comparability of 

those standards to standards for 

accreditation applied to United States 

medical schools. 

Comparability of the applicable 

accreditation standards is an eligibility 

requirement for foreign medical schools 

to participate in the William D. Ford 

Federal Direct Student Loan Program, 

20 U.S.C. 1087a et seq. 

Meeting Agenda: The NCFMEA will 

review the standards of accreditation 

applied to medical schools by several 

foreign countries to determine whether 

those standards are comparable to the 

standards of accreditation applied to 

medical schools in the United States 

and/or reports previously requested of 

countries by the NCFMEA. Discussion 

of the standards of accreditation will be 

held in sessions open to the public. 

Discussions resulting in specific 

determinations of comparability are 

closed to the public in order that each 

country may be properly notified by the 

Department of the Committee’s 

decision.
