Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 6,671,000.. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,667,750. Abstract: Federal Student Aid (FSA) requests extension without change of the Person Authentication Service (PAS) which creates an FSA ID, a standard username and password solution. In order to create an FSA ID to gain access to certain FSA systems (the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFAFSA) on the Web, National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), StudentLoans.gov, etc.) a user must register on-line for an FSA ID account. The FSA ID allows the customer to have a single identity, even if there is a name change or change to other personally identifiable information. The information collected to create the FSA ID enables electronic authentication and authorization of users for FSA webbased applications and information and protects users from unauthorized access to user accounts on all protected FSA sites.

Priorities: This notice contains six absolute priorities and one invitational priority. In accordance with 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(iv) and 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(ii), the absolute priorities are from section 402G(b) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), and the regulations for this program at 34 CFR 642.24. The invitational priority is intended to address mental health challenges faced by project directors and employees of TRIO projects by providing training and informational resources to support their mental health. Absolute Priorities: For FY 2024 and any subsequent year in which we make awards from the list of unfunded applications from this competition, these priorities are absolute priorities. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3), we consider only applications that meet one of these absolute priorities. In accordance with 34 CFR 642.7, each application must clearly identify the specific absolute priority for which a grant is requested. An applicant must submit a separate application for each absolute priority it proposes to address. If an applicant submits more than one application for the same absolute priority, we will accept only the application with the latest ‘‘date/time received’’ validation. These priorities are: Absolute Priority 1: Training to improve reporting of student and project performance and project evaluation, in order to design and operate a model program for projects funded under the Federal TRIO Programs. Absolute Priority 2: Training on budget management and the statutory and regulatory requirements for the operation of projects funded under the Federal TRIO Programs. Absolute Priority 3: Training on assessment of student needs; retention and graduation strategies; and the use of appropriate educational technology in the operation of projects funded under the Federal TRIO programs. Absolute Priority 4: Training on assisting students in receiving adequate financial aid from programs assisted under title IV of the HEA and from other programs, and on college and university admissions policies and procedures. Absolute Priority 5: Training on strategies for recruiting and serving hard to reach populations, including students who are limited English proficient, students from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 12325 postsecondary education, students with disabilities, students who are homeless children and youths (as this term is defined in section 725 of the McKinneyVento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11434a)), students who are foster care youth, or other disconnected students. Absolute Priority 6: Training on general project management for new project directors. Invitational Priority: For FY 2024 and any subsequent year in which we make awards from the list of unfunded applications from this competition, this priority is an invitational priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(1), we do not give an application that meets this invitational priority a competitive or absolute preference over other applications. Background: According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OHSA), stress can be harmful to our health and increase mental health challenges.1 While there are many things in life that induce stress, work can be one of those factors. The World Health Organization reported in 2022 that 83 percent of U.S. workers suffer from work-related stress and 54 percent of workers report that work stress affects their home life.2 Studies indicate the COVID–19 pandemic exacerbated the issue.3 The workplace can be a key place for resources, solutions, and activities designed to improve mental health and well-being.4 The TRIO workplace provides an opportunity to provide needed supports and resources. Through this invitational priority, the Department encourages applicants to provide critical support to assist TRIO staff. Priority: Training on mental health supports for TRIO project directors and staff. Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1070a– 11 and 1070a–17. Note: Projects will be awarded and must be operated in a manner consistent with the nondiscrimination requirements contained in Federal civil rights laws. 1 Occupational Safety and Health Administration, (2024).
