OMB approves
this generic clearance request consistent with the memo dated
5/24/07 and subject to the following terms: 1. The streamlined
application process covered under this generic clearance ONLY
includes discretionary grant applications. No other related
collections (such as annual performance reports) are covered under
this clearance; 2. Each January Education will submit to OMB an
updated list of Discretionary Grant Information Collections to be
covered under this generic clearance; 3. In the event that ED seeks
to add an Information Collection to the current list ED will submit
to OMB a brief memorandum summarizing the information collection
and announcing ED's intention to add this collection to those
covered under this generic clearance; 4. In any Federal Register
announcement preceding OMB submission under this generic clearance,
ED will reiterate the process for this generic clearance and make
clear that the thirty day period in conjunction with OMB review is
the only public comment period for collections under this generic
clearance; and 5. Each information collection submitted under this
clearance will retain its original OMB number, however, all
references in ROCIS and in the Federal Register announcement for
each individual submission will reference 1890-0001.

The information collection plan
provides the U.S. Department of Education with the option of
submitting its discretionary grant information collections through
a streamlined Paperwork Reduction Act clearance process which do
not fit under the Generic Application (1890-0009). This streamlined
clearance process will continue when the Department submits the
information collection to the OMB and, at the same time, publishes
a 30-day public comment period notice in the Federal
Register.
There is no change in the
burden this year from the burden of 3 years ago. This is a holding
1 hour and each submission under this nOMB number will display its
own burden.
