must be received by June 7, 2021 to be
assured of consideration. Comments
received after that date will be
considered to the extent practicable.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Suzanne H. Plimpton, Reports Clearance
Officer, National Science Foundation,

18000, Alexandria, Virginia 22314; or
send email to splimpto@nsf.gov.
Individuals who use a
telecommunications device for the deaf

information technology; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to

appropriate automated, electronic,

Title of Collection: Hispanic-Serving
Institutions (HSI) Certification Form.
OMB Approval Number: 3145–0247.
Expiration Date of Current Approval:
July 31, 2021.
Type of Request: Intent to renew an
information collection.
Abstract: To enhance the quality of
undergraduate STEM education at
Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), the
National Science Foundation (NSF)
established the Improving
Undergraduate STEM Education:
Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI
Program), in response to the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017
(Public Law 115–31) and the American
Innovation and Competitiveness Act
(Public Law 114–329). The lead
institution submitting a proposal to the
HSI Program must be an HSI as defined
by law in section 502 of the Higher
Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1101a)
(https://legcounsel.house.gov/Comps/
HEA65_CMD.pdf). Hence there is a need
for institutions to self-certify via an HSI
Certification Form.
The HSI Program includes a specific
track that provides a funding
opportunity for institutions that are new
to NSF[5] or are Primarily
Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs [6]),
including community colleges. PUIs are
‘‘accredited colleges and universities
(including two-year community
colleges) that award Associates degrees,
Bachelor’s degrees, and/or Master’s
degrees in NSF-supported fields, but
have awarded 20 or fewer Ph.D./D.Sci.
degrees in all NSF-supported fields
during the combined previous two
academic years.’’ PUI definition
obtained from https://www.nsf.gov/
funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5518.
Hence there is a need for institutions to
provide a self-certification of PUI
eligibility for this track. The following
language is used:
Certification of PUI Eligibility. A
Certification of PUI Eligibility, following
the format below and executed by an
Authorized Organizational
Representative, must be included in PUI
requests (Planning or Pilot Projects
(PPP) only). A current, signed
Certification, included on institutional
letterhead, should be scanned and
included as a PDF file.
