Type of Information Collection: Extension without change of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 06/20/1991
	Date Received in OIRA: 04/05/1991
Terms of Clearance: Approved as amended by ED's memoranda to OMB of 6/12/91 and 6/19/91. OMB notes that the initial clearance package contained many problems o presentation, such as missing pages, typographical errors, and inclusion of out-dated regulations, which adds burden and confusion fo grant applicants and reflects poorly on the Department. Such poor quality in any future clearance requests for this program will not be acceptable. In addition, ED has agreed to meet the following conditions: -- Approval through June 1994 is conditional on the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act. Should reauthorization result in any progra changes that would affect the information collected in this applicatio ED should resubmit the package for clearance. Continuation applicants may, however, continue to use the current clearance. -- ED should include the most recent version of program regulations in any application package (currently, 7/1/90 edition). -- As soon as possible, ED should go through technical rulemaking to a the appropriate control numbers references at the end of the regulator provisions cleared in this package. -- In the instructions for the Business and International Education Program application, ED should revise line 1 of Program Narrative Item 3.a. (Quality of Key Personnel) to change "or" to "of". -- ED should include the "Importance Notice" page in Fulbright-Hays.
