SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department, in accordance with the

provides the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to
comment on proposed, revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department assess the impact of its
information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting
burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in
the desired format. The Department is soliciting comments on the
proposed information collection request (ICR) that is described below.
The Department is especially interested in public comment addressing
the following issues: (1) is this collection necessary to the proper
functions of the Department; (2) will this information be processed and
used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4)
how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected; and (5) how might the Department
minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, including
through the use of information technology. Please note that written
comments received in response to this notice will be considered public
records.
Title of Collection: Streamlined Clearance Process for
Discretionary Grants.
OMB Control Number: 1894-0001.
Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved
ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
[[Page 18973]]
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3.
Abstract: Section 3505(a)(2) of the PRA of 1995 provides the OMB
Director authority to approve the streamlined 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. Section
3474.20(d) adds the requirement for grantees to develop a dissemination
plan for copyrighted work under open licensing. Information contained
in the narrative of an application will be captured in the Evidence of
Effectiveness Form.

Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy
Development.
