Title of Collection: Generic Application Package for Departmental
Generic Grant Programs.
OMB Control Number: 1894-0006.
Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved
ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 9,861.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 447,089.
Abstract: The Department is requesting an extension of the approval
for the Generic Application Package that numerous ED discretionary
grant programs use to provide to applicants the forms and information
needed to apply for new grants under those grant program competitions.
The Department will use this Generic Application package for
discretionary grant programs that: (1) Use the standard ED or Federal-
wide grant applications forms that have been cleared separately through
OMB under the terms of this generic clearance as approved by OMB and
(2) use selection criteria from the Education Department General
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR); selection criteria that reflect
statutory or regulatory provisions that have been developed under 34
CFR 75.209, or a combination of EDGAR, statutory or regulatory criteria
or other provisions, as authorized under 34 CFR 75.200 and 75.209. The
use of the standard ED grant application forms and the use of EDGAR
and/or criteria developed under Sec. Sec. 75.200 and 75.209 promotes
the standardization and streamlining of ED discretionary grant
application packages.
