SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Education (ED), in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: Streamlined 

Clearance Process for Discretionary 

Grant. 

OMB Control Number: 1894–0001. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of an existing collection of 

information. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 1. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 1. 

Abstract: Section 3505(a)(2) of the 

PRA of 1995 provides the OMB Director 

authority to approve the streamlined 

clearance process proposed in this 

information collection request. This 

information collection request was 

originally approved by OMB in January 

of 1997. This information collection 

streamlines the clearance process for all 

discretionary grant information 

collections which do not fit the generic 

application process. The streamlined 

clearance process continues to reduce 

the clearance time for the U.S. 

Department of Education’s (ED’s) 

discretionary grant information 

collections by two months or 60 days. 

This is desirable for two major reasons: 

it would allow ED to provide better 

customer service to grant applicants and 

help meet ED’s goal for timely awards 

of discretionary grants.
