Title of Collection: Application for the Language Resource Centers
(LRC) Program (1894-0001).
OMB Control Number: 1840-0808.
Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved
ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 27.

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. 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
[[Page 40794]]
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.
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 comment notice published for this information collection.
Dated: June 15, 2023.
