SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act

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.

    Frequency: Annually.
    Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions.
    Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:

    Abstract: The Department is requesting authorization to annually

Program. This information is being collected to comply with the 
Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993, Section 4 
(1115), and the Education Department General Administrative Regulations 
(EDGAR), 34 CFR 75.253. EDGAR states that recipients of multi-year 
discretionary grants must submit an APR demonstrating that substantial 
progress has been made towards meeting the approved objectives of the 
project. Further, the APR lends itself to the collection of 
quantifiable data needed to respond to the requirements of OMB's 
Program Assessment Rating Tool process. In addition, grantees will be 
required to report on their progress towards meeting the performance 
measures established for the HBCU Master's Degree Program.
