SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

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 Leader, 

Information Management Case Services 

Team, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of the 

Chief Information Officer, 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.

Abstract: Titles III and V of the Higher 

Education Act (HEA), provide 

discretionary and formula grant 

programs that make competitive awards 

to eligible Institutions of Higher 

Education and organizations (Title III, 

Part E) to assist these institutions 

expand their capacity to serve minority 

and low-income students. Grantees 

annually submit a yearly performance 

report to demonstrate that substantial 

progress is being made towards meeting 

the objectives of their project. This 

request is to implement a new, webbased Annual Performance Report to 

more effectively elicit program-specific 

information to be used for program 

monitoring and Government 

Performance and Results Act (GPRA) 

reporting purposes. The Annual 

Performance Report will be the 

cornerstone of a new Performance 

Measurement System tailored to 

strengthen the Department of 

Education’s program monitoring efforts, 

streamline our processes, and enhance 

our customer service.
