ED has indicated
in a memo dated 7/2/01 that the department will issue guidance on
what aggregate data must be reported in terms of race and ethnicity
by Fall 2001. If the department is not going to be able to issue
guidance by the end of 2001, ED shall inform OMB as soon as
possible and work with OMB to develop a new timeline that is
acceptable to OMB. This collection will be phased out as states
obtain the necessary technology to complete the consolidated data
collection approved under 1820-0644.
