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

consultation to the extent that 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 Chief

Financial and Chief Information Officer,

Office of the Chief Financial and Chief

Information Officer, publishes this

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 at

the address specified above. Copies of

the requests are available from Patrick J.

Sherrill at the address specified above.

Officer, Office of the Chief Financial and

Office of Management

Type of Review: Extension.

Title: Streamlined Process for

Education Department General

Administrative Regulations (EDGAR)

Approved Grant Applications.

Frequency: Annually.

Affected Public: Businesses or other

for-profits; Not-for-profit institutions;

State, Local or Tribal Gov’t, SEAs or

LEAs.

Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping

Hour Burden: Responses: 1; Burden

Hours: 1.

Abstract: Since April 1997, EDGAR’s

menu of selection criteria became

effective. For each competition, the

Secretary would select one or more

criteria that best enable the Department

to identify the highest quality

applications consistent with the

program purpose, statutory

requirements, and any priorities

established. This allows the Secretary

the flexibility to weigh the criteria

according to the needs of each

individual program. This menu of

selection criteria will provide the

Department the flexibility to choose a

set of criteria tailored to a given

competition and obviate the need to

create specific selection criteria through

individual program regulations. The

Department is requesting a streamlined

process for programs of approved

applications who choose to change: (1)

Criteria from the same EDGAR menu, (2)

old EDGAR to new EDGAR criteria, or

(3) program criteria to EDGAR criteria.

Office of the Under Secretary
