Abstract: Under the Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad (GPA)
program, the Secretary awards grants to eligible institutions,
departments, and organizations to conduct overseas group projects in
research, training, and curriculum development. These institutions
administer the program in cooperation with the U.S. Department of
Education (US/ED) as provided under the authority of sections 102(b)(6)
and 104(e)(1) of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of
1961, 34 CFR part 662, the Policy Statements of the J. William
Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FSB), and the Education Department
General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR).
This is a revision to an existing collection. ED/IFLE is removing
Competitive Preference Priority 6: Thematic Focus on Ukraine or
Afghanistan because only 1 applicant out of 43 applications for FY 2023
applied for the priority. This applicant was not eligible for the
points. No applications received points for this priority. This
revision will have no effect on hour or cost burden.
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: July 26, 2023.
