Abstract:
The Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) works to improve postsecondary education through grants to postsecondary educational institutions and agencies. Such grants are awarded to non-profit organizations on the basis of competitively reviewed applications submitted to FIPSE under its Comprehensive and Special Focus Competition Program grant competitions. This collection includes a final performance report for use with all of the following Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) programs: Comprehensive(84.116B), European Union-United States (84.116J), US-Brazil (84.116M), North America (84.116N), and US-Russia (84.116S). Also included is a final performance report for Congressionally-directed grants (earmarks)(84.116Z). We request clearance of one annual report for the Comprehensive program (84.116B). A total of three (3) forms comprise this collection. We need to collect this data in order to evaluate and assess each grantee for continued funding and assessment of their project.

Short Statement:
The overall burden of 5,556 hours was reduced due to the elimination of the Congressionally-directed grants (84.116Z). FIPSE no longer receives Congressionally-directed grants to administer. However, the burden for the FIPSE Comprehensive Annual Report increased from 8 to 17 per response to better reflect report completion time.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$76,500
