Title of Collection: Application for Grants: National Resource
Centers Program and Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowships
Program (1894-0001).
OMB Control Number: 1840-0807.
Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved
ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 165.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 4,455.
Abstract: This information collection (OMB 1840-0807) includes
application instructions and forms for the National Resource Centers
(NRC) Program (CFDA Number 84.015A) and the Foreign Language and Area
Studies (FLAS) Fellowships Program (CFDA Number 84.015B), authorized
under Title VI of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (20
U.S.C. 1122).
This collection is an extension of the previously approved
information collection (application). There is no change to the form or
instructions, although the burden decreases due to a different way of
calculating burden hours.
The NRC Program provides grants to institutions of higher education
(IHE) or consortia of IHEs to establish, strengthen, and operate
comprehensive and undergraduate foreign language and area or
international studies centers. These centers serve as centers of
excellence for world language training and teaching, research, and
instruction in fields needed to provide full understanding of areas,
regions, or countries where the languages are commonly used.
The FLAS Fellowship Program awards allocations of fellowships,
through institutions of higher education, to meritorious students
enrolled in programs that offer performance-based instruction in world
languages in combination with area studies, international studies, or
the

international aspects of professional studies.
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: September 25, 2023.
