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.

Institutions Program, CFDA #84.031A & 84.031F.
    OMB Control Number: 1840-0114.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.

    Abstract: This collection is the application booklet for the 
Strengthening Institutions Program (SIP), ALN #84.031A & 84.031F. SIP 
provides grants to eligible institutions of higher education (IHEs) to 
improve their academic programs, institutional management, and fiscal 
stability to increase their self-sufficiency and strengthen their 
capacity. Funding is targeted to institutions that enroll a large 
proportion of financially disadvantaged students and have low per-
student expenditures. Section 311(b) and Section 391(a)(1) of Title 
III, Part A of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), 20 
US Code Sec.  1057 and the governing regulations (34 CFR 607.1-607.31) 
require collection of the information identified in the application 
package, in order to make awards.
    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
