Type of Review: Extension. 

Title of Collection: Streamlined 

Process for Education Department 

General Administrative Regulations 

(EDGAR) Approved Grant Applications. 

OMB Control Number: 1894–0004. 

Agency Form Number(s): N/A. 

Frequency of Responses: As 

necessary.

Abstract: This information collection 

clearance request seeks an extension of 

approval for an established expedited 

process which permits U.S. Department 

of Education (ED) program offices to 

make selection criteria substitutions 

under the Education Department 

General Administrative Regulations 

(EDGAR) grant application without 

having to submit to OMB a previously 

cleared application package for another 

review. Usage of the streamlined 

process for EDGAR approved grant 

applications, establishes a process for 

programs to submit an abbreviated list 

of items for an expedited streamlined 

approval process by OMB. Many 

discretionary grant programs in ED use 

the generic application package cleared 

under OMB #1894–0006 which allows 

programs to pick and choose the 

selection criteria for their grant 

competitions from among the general 

EDGAR selection criteria shown at 34 

CFR 75.210. The remaining 

discretionary grant programs use 

program-specific application packages, 

cleared by OMB on a case-by-case basis, 

that require applicants to address 

specific selection criteria unique to the 

program, usually derived from program 

legislation or regulation. During the 

three-year period for which its specific 

application package is cleared, a 

program might need to substitute one or 

more of the EDGAR generic selection 

criteria, mentioned above, for one or 

more of the program-specific criteria 

contained in the package originally 

cleared by OMB. These substitutions 

generally result in a minor alteration in 

the burden hours imposed by the 

collection. Using an already approved 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 225 / Tuesday, November 23, 2010 / Notices 71423 

application package for such actions 

reduces burden on the public best 

reaching the Departments goal of 

administering application competitions 

in a timely and efficient manner.

Abstract: To gauge progress in 

addressing the needs of youth with 

disabilities, the U.S. Department of 

Education is sponsoring a five-year 

longitudinal study focused on the 

educational and transitional experiences 

of youth between the ages of 13 and 21 

in December 2011. The study focuses on 

three sets of research questions: What 

are the characteristics of youth with 

disabilities? What services and 

accommodations do they receive and 

what are their courses of study? What 

are their transitional experiences as they 

leave high school and their educational, 

social, and economic outcomes? 

To shed light on the distinctive 

experiences of youth with disabilities 

the study will contrast them with those 

of youth without disabilities. The study 

will also compare the experiences of 

youth with disabilities with those of two 

previous cohorts of youth with similar 

disabilities, providing information on 

progress in addressing the needs of 

these youth. 

Districts and youth will be randomly 

selected to ensure that they are 

nationally representative. The study 

sample will include approximately 300 

school districts and 15,000 students. 

Phase I data collection will occur in 

spring 2012 and spring 2014, when 

sample members will be ages 13–21 and 

15–23, respectively. The study will 

collect data from parents, youth, 

principal teachers, and student school 

records.
