SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) provide interested 

Federal agencies and the public an early 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. OMB may amend or 

waive the requirement for public

participation in the approval process 

would defeat the purpose of the 

information collection, violate State or 

Federal law, or substantially interfere 

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The IC Clearance 

Official, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of 

Management, publishes that notice 

containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission 

of these requests to OMB. Each 

proposed information collection, 

grouped by office, contains the 

following: (1) Type of review requested, 

e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or 

reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of 

the collection; (4) Description of the 

need for, and proposed use of, the 

information; (5) Respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6) 

Reporting and/or Recordkeeping 

burden. OMB invites public comment.

Abstract: The LEAP and SLEAP 

programs use matching Federal and 

State funds to provide a nationwide 

system of grants to assist postsecondary 

educational students with substantial 

financial need. On this application the 

states provide information the 

Department requires to obligate funds 

and for program management. The 

signed assurances legally bind the states 

to administer the programs according to 

regulatory and statutory requirements. 

With the clearance of this collection, the 

Department is seeking to automate the 

application for web-based applying for 

both the LEAP Program and the 

subprogram, SLEAP. There are no 

significant changes to the current LEAP 

form data elements. There are, however, 

some additional items pertaining to the 

SLEAP Program which combines the 

application into one form for both 

programs.
