Abstract: This information collection (OMB 1840-0616) includes application instructions and forms for the Centers for International Business Education (CIBE) Program (CFDA Number 84.220A), authorized under Title VI of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (20 U.S.C. Section 1130-1). This is an extension of a currently approved information collection (application), due to a Change Due to Adjustment in Agency Estimate. The Centers for International Business Education (CIBE) program offers consulting services on international business and marketing to businesses in their areas, develop business language curriculum, and teach international business topics to undergraduate and graduate students. CIBEs also partner with business and professional associations to offer internships and other real-world experience to prepare career-ready international business students. CIBEs serve to strengthen the American economy in our increasingly interconnected world by enabling U.S. citizens and companies to compete in the international business arena. Approval of this collection is necessary in order to conduct future CIBE program competitions. The authorizing legislation and program-specific regulations are incorporated in the application package attached to this supporting statement. This collection is an application for grants and falls under the streamlined clearance process (1894-0001).

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a change due to an Adjustment in Agency Estimate because of a difference in the way in which burden is calculated. Instead of calculating burden annually, it is being averaged over three years. This is because the competition runs only once every four years, and therefore takes place only once for every three-year period that the collection is cleared with OMB. This reduces the Total Annual Burden Hours of 2,075 by 1,383.34 to 691.66.
