SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with 
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact 
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's 
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in 
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed 
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. 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. Please note that 
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered 
public records.
    Title of Collection: Fiscal Operations Report for 2012-2013 and 
Application to Participate for 2014-2015 (FISAP) and Reallocation Form.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-0030.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments, 
Private Sector.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 4,258.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 85,332.
    Abstract: The data submitted electronically in the Fiscal 
Operations Report and Application to Participate (FISAP) through FISAP 
on the Web is used by the Department of Education to determine the 
institution's funding need for the award year and monitor program 
effectiveness and accountability of fund expenditures. The Reallocation 
form is part of FISAP on the Web. The Higher Education Amendments (HEA) 
requires that if an institution anticipates not using all of its 
allocated funds for the Perkins, Federal Work Study (FWS), and

[[Page 16842]]

Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) programs by 
the end of an award year, it must specify the anticipated remaining 
unused amount to the Secretary. In addition to renewing the expiration 
date, references to dates and award years dates have been updated on 
the forms and in the instructions for both documents. The FISAP form 
has been revised to use technology to gather existing data 
electronically from other sources requiring less data entry.
