OMB Control Number: 1840–0759. Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; Individuals and Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 6,126. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 12,928. Abstract: Information Resource Information System (IRIS) is an online performance reporting system for grantees of International and Foreign Language Education (IFLE) programs. The site also allows for IFLE program officers to process overseas language requests, travel authorization requests, and grant activation requests. IRIS keeps a record of these requests and also of Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship recipients and grantee performance reports. The International and Foreign Language Education (IFLE) office within the Office of Postsecondary Education, of the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) administers 11 institutional and fellowship grant programs authorized under title VI of the Higher Education Act and section 102(b)(6) of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act, also known as Fulbright-Hays (F–H). The purpose of these programs is to strengthen the capability and performance of American education in foreign languages and in area and international studies. The International Resource Information System (IRIS) is an online database that is used for performance reporting by the grantees funded by these 11 programs. The purpose of IRIS is to provide a centralized and effective VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:56 Oct 23, 2024 Jkt 265001 way of collecting, reporting, and analyzing annual performance data. This Information Collection Request is a revision of the previously approved IRIS information collection. The IFLE office underwent a strategic assessment of each program using the specific statute, regulations, and program purposes. Our assessment was guided by the following objectives: reduce the reporting burden for grantees; reduce the burden hours for IFLE staff to review APRs; and, increase the quality and usefulness of the data collected. The strategic assessment resulted in revisions to the program collections that will significantly reduce reporting burden across programs. We anticipate that the overall annual burden hours will be reduced by 64% from the previous collection clearance. Dated: October 21, 2024.
