Approved as
amended by ED's 10/15/92 memorandum to OMB. Approval is conditional
on revisions needed to ensure practical utility, including -- ED
shall not collect detailed enrollment data by CIP code at this
time. A working group including OVAE, NCES, and NCRVE will soon
issue recommendations about a national vocational education data
system. Th performance report may be modified based on the working
group's recommendations; accordingly, one-year clearance is
granted. -- Because the data collected by this report will
primarily be used to assist in monitoring Federally funded
programs, States shall report on enrollment by program area only
for students in Federally funded programs. ED's instructions shall
be revised to make this explicit. -- In the narrative instructions,
ED shall add language that asks Stat to report on progress they
have made in achieveing the goals and objectives outlined in their
State plans. -- ED shall delete from the cover page the second and
third descriptio of how these data may be used, which do not
address State monitoring. -- ED shall not collect data on future
need for teachers, since these data would be based on State
projections that may questionable. -- ED shall not make any
conclusions about program performance based o State nominations of
exemplary performance, absent further validation. --ED shall
explain more clearly what "use of funds requirements" mean on p. 4
of the narrative instructions.
