Abstract: The U.S. Department of 

Education’s (ED) Office of Innovation 

and Improvement (OII) has developed a 

Web-based platform, the Open 

Innovation Web Portal (Portal), to 

support communication and 

collaboration among a wide range of key 

education stackholders, including 

practitioners, funders, and the general 

public. This platform, which is 

currently operating under emergency 

clearance, allows geographically 

dispersed but like-minded entities to 

discover each other and work together 

to address some of the most intractable 

challenges in education. OII promotes 

this platform as a tool for use with the 

Investing in Innovation grant program 

(i3), which was established as the 

‘‘Innovation Fund’’ in the ‘‘American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 

2009’’ (ARRA), signed into law by the 

President on February 17, 2009. This 

new program will provide $650,000,000 

in competitive grants to Local Education 

Agencies (LEAs), non-profit 

organizations working in collaboration 

with LEAs, or non-profit organizations 

working in collaboration with a 

consortium of schools. The Department 

must obligate funds to i3 grantees before 

the end of the fiscal year 2010, 

September 30, 2010. The Department 

also plans for the Portal to remain 

operational after i3 funding is awarded 

so that there is an ongoing community 

that focuses on innovation in education. 

Part of our intent in implementing the 

i3 program is to identify innovative new 

approaches proposed by individuals 

and organizations that have previously 

had limited experience in obtaining 

grants in the education sector yet have 

promising evidence-based ideas for 

improving American education. These 

applicants in particular face challenges 

in identifying schools or LEAs with 

which to partner given their limited 

experience in the field. Further, 

organizations without existing 

relationships in education may find it 

difficult to secure the private sector 

matching funds required of all grantees 

under ARRA. Receiving OMB’s approval 

for an extension Receiving OMB’s 

approval for an extension of the PRA 

clearance will allow continued 

operation of the Portal, which currently 

has over 3000 members, and support 

improved student achievement through 

school improvement and reform, a key 

departmental goal.

Title: Streamlined Clearance Process 

for Discretionary Grant Information 

Collections.

for-profit; State, Local, or Tribal Gov’t, 

SEAs or LEAs.

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

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 

provides the OMB Director authority to 

approve the steamlined 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. This is a request 

to extend the clearance process for 

discretionary grant information 

collections, and continue to be 

streamlined in the following manner: 

the clearance process begins when ED 

submits the collection to OMB and, 

simultaneously, publishes a 30-day 

public comment period notice in the 

Federal Register. OMB has 60 days, 

following the beginning of the public 

comment period, to reach a decision on 

the collection.
