Collection of the information is
necessary in order for the Secretary of Education to carry out the
Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program under Title V,
Part A, Section 501 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as
amended, 20 U.S.C. 1101-1101d; 1103-1103g. The information will be
used in the evaluation process to determine whether proposed
activities are consistent with legislated activities and to
determine the dollar share of the Congressional appropriation to be
awarded to successful applicants. The Developing Hispanic-Serving
Institutions Program provides grants to: (1) expand educational
opportunities for, and improve the academic attainment of, Hispanic
students; and (2) expand and enhance academic offerings, program
quality, faculty quality, and institutional stability of colleges
and universities that are educating the majority of Hispanic
college students and help large numbers of Hispanic and low-income
students complete postsecondary degrees.
The annual number of responses
and total annual burden hours have increased due to an anticipated
increase in the estimated number of applicants.
