The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) (P.L. 110-315) was enacted on August 14, 2008 and reauthorized the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, (HEA). It requires participating Title IV institutions to apply for funds and report expenditures for the Federal Perkins Loan (Perkins), the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) and the Federal Work-Study (FWS) Programs on an annual basis. The data submitted electronically in the Fiscal Operations Report and Application to Participate (FISAP) is used by the Department of Education to determine the institutionâs funding need for the award year and monitor program effectiveness and accountability of fund expenditures. The data is used in conjunction with institutional program reviews to assess the administrative capability and compliance of the applicant. There are no other resources for collecting this data. The HEA requires that if an institution anticipates not using all of its allocated funds for the FWS, and FSEOG programs by the end of an award year, it must specify the anticipated remaining unused amount to the Secretary, who reduces the institutionâs allocation accordingly. The changes to the version of the FISAP are to update the deadline and award year references, incorporate new data fields added to capture cumulative service cancellation reimbursement activity beginning in the 2019-20 award year under the Perkins Loan Program.

This is a request to update current OMB lCR 1845-0030 to reference award year and date changes for the Fiscal Operations Report for 2021-2022 and Application to Participate 2023-2024 (FISAP) and Reallocation Form. The attached tables outline the changes made to instructions due in part to the Department's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and CARES Act requirements. There is a slight decrease in the number of institutions filing the FISAP and Reallocation forms, so there is a decrease in the number of corresponding burden hours. The annual reporting and record-keeping hours change to 89,396 hours, a 450 hour decrease and the respondents and reponses change to 3,778, a decrease of 115 respondent and responses due to a change in the number of institutions filing the FISA
