of Management, publishes that notice containing proposed information
collection requests prior to submission of these requests to OMB. Each

Abstract: The Department is requesting authorization to annually
collect performance report data for the new HBCU Masters Degree

Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993, Section 4
(1115), and the Education Department General Administrative Regulations
(EDGAR), 34 CFR 75.253. EDGAR states that recipients of multi-year
discretionary grants must submit an APR demonstrating that substantial
progress has been made towards meeting the approved objectives of the
project. Further, the APR lends itself to the collection of
quantifiable data needed to respond to the requirements of OMB's
Program Assessment Rating Tool process. In addition, grantees will be
required to report on their progress towards meeting the performance
measures established for the HBCU Master's Degree Program.
