RE: Nonmaterial and Nonsubstantive Edits to 1810-0748 

 

We are recommending minor technical edits to this ICR that do not have an impact on respondent burden. These edits are being implemented to assist respondents with providing accurate information and to reduce the need for corrections and further clarifications. These minor edits will not require new or additional information from respondents.

Major edits:

• The “Reporting Periods” section has been updated to reflect the current and future reporting periods.

• Questions 10.a, 11.a, 12.a, and 13.a “IHE Awards and Expenditures” and “Other Education-Related Entity Awards and Expenditures”– The prompts for these questions have been updated for consistency and clarity.

  • Example: “Total Amount Awarded to the IHE GEER I” was updated to “Total GEER I Amount Awarded to the IHE”

• Questions 15 and 16 “GEER Funds Used to Support Enrollment in Non-public Schools” – The guidance for these questions has been updated to reflect that respondents should provide information about current reporting period expenditures to support enrollment in non-public schools for school years 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 in this year’s report.

• Questions 9.d, 11.b and 13.b have been updated to collect “Total GEER II Expenditures in Prior Reporting Periods” rather than the “Prior Reporting Period” as there are now multiple prior reporting periods for GEER II.

• Clarifying information about fields that will be automatically populated from the prior year’s Annual Performance Report has been added throughout the form.
