The information will be collected from Institutions of Higher Education 
and will be used in the evaluation process to determine whether 
proposed activities are consistent with legislated activities and to 
determine the dollar share of the Congressional appropriation to be 
awarded to successful applicants. The Developing Hispanic-Serving 
Institutions Program provides grants to: (1) expand educational 
opportunities for, and improve the academic attainment of, Hispanic 
students; and (2) expand and enhance academic offerings, program 
quality, faculty quality, and institutional stability of colleges and 
universities that are educating the majority of Hispanic college 
students and help large numbers of Hispanic and low-income students 
complete postsecondary degrees. Information is collected under 
authority of 20 U.S.C. 1101-1101d, 1103-1103g; the Education Department 
General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in 34 CFR parts 74, 75, 77, 
79, 82, 84, 85, 86, 97, 98, and 99; the OMB Guidelines to Agencies on 
Government-wide Debarment and Suspension (Non-procurement) in 2 CFR 
part 180, as adopted and amended as regulations of the Department in 2 
CFR part 3485; the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost 
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards in 2 CFR part 
3474; and the applicable regulations for this program in 34 CFR 606.
    This collection is being submitted under the Streamlined Clearance 
Process for Discretionary Grant Information Collections (1894-0001). 
Therefore, the 30-day public comment period notice will be the only 
public comment notice published for this information collection.
