The
Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Quarterly Budget
and Expenditure Reporting under
CARES Act Sections 18004(a)(1)
Institutional Portion, 18004(a)(2), and
18004(a)(3).
OMB Control Number: 1840–NEW.

collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private
Sector; State, Local, and Tribal
Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 20,680.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 41,360.
Abstract: Section 18004(a)(1) of the
CARES Act, Public Law 116–136 (March
27, 2020), authorizes the Secretary of
Education to allocate formula grant
funds to participating institutions of
higher educations (IHEs). Section

IHEs to use up to one-half of the total
funds received to cover any costs
associated with the significant changes
to the delivery of instruction due to the
coronavirus (with specific exceptions).
Section 18004(a)(2) of the CARES Act
authorizes the Secretary to make awards
under parts A and B of title III, parts A
and B of title V, and subpart 4 of part

address needs directly related to the
coronavirus. These awards are in
addition to awards made in Section
18004(a)(1) of the CARES Act.
Section 18004(a)(3) of the CARES Act,
Pub. authorizes the Secretary to allocate
funds for part B of Title VII of the HEA,
for IHEs that the Secretary determines
have the greatest unmet needs related to
coronavirus. This information collection
request includes the quarterly budget
and expenditure reporting form that will
be used by grantees under these
sections.
Additional Information: An
emergency clearance approval for the
use of the system is described below
due to the following conditions: If this
emergency collection is not approved,
the Department will be unable to
effectively monitor the use of funds by
grantees that have received awards
under these sections.
Directed Question: The Department
acknowledges the perception that this
public reporting instrument may appear
to be duplicative to the annual report
form that is in preliminary development
and will be submitted to the Department
in 2021 (Federal Register/Vol. 85, No.
146/Wednesday, July 29, 2020). As such,
the Department specifically welcomes
comment on the relationship between
the two instruments and how it might
reduce any possible duplication.
