Terms of Clearance: Approved for six months with the following terms of clearance: 1) ED will complete work on another GAANN outcome indicator before the December iteration of the FY 2005 Annual Plan is completed. This work will include collaborative review with OMB and will address the merits of the proposed OMB employment indicator and any ED alternatives. 2) ED will provide an implementation strategy to OMB about how it intends to collect the information supporting the new indicator, while maximizing response rates and data quality. 3) ED will research the legal and implementation questions associated with the data collection requests to grantees that are subsequent to the completion of an ED grant. OMB is interested in learing what ED may do under the existing statutory framework to a) mandate grantee compliance for providing these data after the end of the grant period; and, b) request voluntary compliance from grantees after the end of the grant period. 4) ED will assess programs at the Department which already collect data from grantees after the conclusion of a grant period and make the findings available to the GAANN measure group to inform the group of agency best practices in the area. ED shall complete work on the above terms of clearance well in advance of the grant competition for FY 2004, and shall submit the revised application prior to the 04 grant competition for full OMB clearance.
