Abstract:
This information collection (OMB 1840-0808) includes application instructions and forms for the Language Resource Centers (LRC) Program (CFDA Number 84.229A), authorized under Title VI of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (20 U.S.C. Section 1123). The type of collection is an extension of the currently approved information collection (application). However, the hour burden of the collection decreases because of a Program Change due to Agency Discretion. This discretionary grant falls under the Streamlined Clearance Process for Discretionary Grant Information Collections, 1894-0001. The Language Resource Centers program provides grants to institutions of higher education to establish, strengthen, and operate national language resource and training centers for improving the nation’s capacity for teaching and learning foreign languages through teacher training, research, instructional materials development, and dissemination projects. This program responds to the ongoing national need for individuals with expertise and competence in world languages; advance national security by developing a pipeline of highly proficient linguists; and contribute to developing a globally competent workforce able to engage with a multilingual/multicultural clientele at home and abroad.

Short Statement:
The type of collection is an extension of the existing application with 75 hours per response. There are no changes or adjustments to the existing application. However, the hour burden of the collection decreases by 1,350 hours because of a Program Change due to Agency Discretion. Because this application is only used once every four years, and the requested length of clearance is three years, we are calculating burden by averaging the annual hour burden over three years. Previously, the annual hour burden was calculated based on the full hours of a competition year. But since the competitions occur only once every four years, it is more accurate to average the annual burden over three years of clearance. Since the previous hour burden was 2,025, it is now being averaged over 3 years of OMB clearance, resulting in a decrease of 1,350 hours to 675 hours. There are no changes to the cost burden because the previously approved cost was already averaged over three years.
