Title of Collection: U.S. Department of 

Education Grant Performance Report 

Form (ED 524B). 

OMB Control Number: 1894–0003. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

local, and Tribal governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 13,300. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 297,800. 

Abstract: The ED 524B form and 

instructions are used by many ED 

discretionary grant programs to enable 

grantees to meet ED deadline dates for 

submission of performance reports to 

the Department. 

As an interim (usually annual) 

performance report, ED uses the 

information submitted by grantees in 

the ED 524B to evaluate grantee 

performance and progress and to 

determine whether non-competing 

continuation funds should be awarded 

in multi-year grants. Only grantees that 

can demonstrate that they are making 

substantial progress (or, if not, have 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
15556 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 43 / Monday, March 4, 2024 / Notices 

submitted an acceptable plan for 

meeting their objectives in subsequent 

budget periods) are eligible for 

continuation funding. 

ED uses the information submitted on 

the ED 524B as a final performance 

report to determine whether grantees 

whose projects have ended have 

achieved project objectives and met or 

exceeded the Government Performance 

and Results Act and/or other program 

performance measures and grant 

requirements. This determination 

enables ED to assure that grants can be 

closed out in compliance.
