A LIMITED PERIOD
OF APPROVAL IS BEING GIVEN TO THIS FORM WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT
NEH WILL DEVELOP A SIMPLIFIED FORM FOR THIS PROGRAM. IN LIGHT OF
THE RELATIVELY SMALL SIZE OF INDIVIDUAL GRANTS UNDER THIS PROGRAM,
NEH SHOULD DEVELOP A SHORTER APPLICATION FOR THIS PROGRAM. WHERE
THE CURRENT APPROACH REQUIRES EXTENSIVE DATA TO BE SUBMITTED USE OF
A FILL-IN-THE-BLANKS APPROACH WOULD BE LESS BURDENSOME. NEH SHOULD
EXPLORE THIS AND OTHER ALTERNATIVES TO THE CURRENT APPROACH AND
PROPOSE A SIMPLIFIED FORM IN THE NEXT REQUEST FOR APPROVAL. THIS
FORM MUST BE CHANGED TO COMPLY WITH THE LETTER OF 3-16-87 FROM
JAMES MACRAE OF OMB TO LYNNE CHENEY OF NEH.
