    Abstract: This information collection (OMB 1840-0616) includes

Business Education (CIBE) Program (CFDA Number 84.220A), authorized

    The Centers for International Business Education (CIBE) program 
offers consulting services on international business and marketing to 
businesses in their areas, develop business language curriculum, and 
teach international business topics to undergraduate and graduate 
students. CIBEs also partner with business and professional 
associations to offer internships and other real-world experience to 
prepare career-ready international business students. CIBEs serve to 
strengthen the American economy in our increasingly interconnected 
world by enabling U.S. citizens and companies to compete in the 
international business arena.
    Approval of this collection is necessary in order to conduct future 
CIBE program competitions.
    The authorizing legislation and program-specific regulations are 
incorporated in the application package attached to this supporting 
statement.
    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.
