The College Access Challenge Grant
(CACG) statute requires grantees to submit an annual performance
report that contains activities and services that have been
implemented, the cost of providing such activities and services,
the number of participating students, and contributions from
private organizations. The U.S. Department of Education is
collecting this information to ensure that states are complying
with statutory requirements, grantees are making significant
progress in meeting goals and objectives and that funds are being
spent in an allowable, allocable, and reasonable manner.
US Code:
20 USC Section 1141 Name of Law: Title VII, Part E of Higher
Education Act, as amended
The additional data from States
is required to allow the U.S. Department of Education (ED) to
determine if States have satisfied MOE requirements and if States
are eligible to receive a waiver of those requirements based on
exceptional or uncontrollable circumstances that prevented States
from satisfying funding obligations. The increase in burden hours
is 586 and the increase in the number of responses is 1. The
respondents in the inventory went up from 56 to 57.
