(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: Foreign Gifts and
Contracts Disclosures.
OMB Control Number: 1845–NEW.
Type of Review: New ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private
Sector; State, Local, and Tribal
Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 2,043.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 20,430.
Abstract: Federal Student Aid (FSA)
is requesting a new information
collection to collect the required
information from institutions regarding
foreign gifts and contracts as specified
in the Higher Education Act of 1965
(HEA), as amended. Section 117 of the
HEA, codified at 20 U.S.C. 1011f,
provides that institutions of higher
education must file a disclosure report
with the Secretary of Education on
January 31 or July 31, whichever is
sooner, under certain circumstances.
In June of 2020, the U.S. Department
of Education (ED) established a
collection of information, Foreign Gifts
and Contracts Disclosures, 1801–0006,
through ED’s Partner Enterprise
Business Collaboration (PEBC) system.
That collection is under an OMB control
number for ED’s Office of the General
Counsel (OGC), which has worked
closely with FSA in recent years with
respect to administration of Section 117.
With this request for a new collection,
the Department would be returning the
collection of this information to FSA,
which is the office with primary
responsibility for the administration of
Section 117 within the Department
going forward. At present, the
Department plans to continue to collect
this data through its PEBC system. The
specifics of this data collection will not
change the current process or reporting.

Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, New
Executive Office Building, 735 17th

1000 Independence Ave. SW,
Washington, DC 20585, Attn: Julius
Goldberg-Lewis.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection
instrument and instructions should be

proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
This proposed emergency information
collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.: New;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Output and Outcome Metrics for
Financial Assistance and Rebates;
(3) Type of Request: Emergency;
(4) Purpose: Given the historic level of
investment represented by
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
programs, it is incumbent on DOE to
transparently track, report, and
communicate the outcomes of DOE’s
financial assistance and rebate
programs. Executive Order 14052
directs federal agencies to prioritize
‘‘investing public dollars efficiently and
equitably, working to avoid waste, and
focusing on measurable outcomes for
the American people.’’ This guidance
specifies the uniform collection,
measurement, and reporting
methodologies necessary for a set of key
metrics that DOE can use to
communicate the outcomes and outputs
of funds awarded, ensuring consistency,
transparency, and accountability to
support Administration and program
objectives. This Information Collection
addresses a set of key cross-cutting
metrics that will track across DOE
programs to assess and communicate
DOE’s progress toward meeting key
agency priorities, including creating
quality jobs, supporting domestic
manufacturing, increasing equity and
justice, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions, and providing pathways to
private sector uptake. The metrics will
inform transparent and consistent
reporting of the key metrics across DOE
awards and will include project-level
location data covering outcomes and
outputs for specific communities,
allowing DOE to better understand who
is affected by DOE funded programs and
how. This approach will enable DOE to
report metrics at the agency, office,
portfolio, and program levels and will
provide data that can help evaluate the
efficiency and equity of the programs,
educate the design and implementation
of future programs, and identify and
address potential waste. DOE proposes
to collect information through
applications and supporting documents
information necessary to determine that
