Terms of Clearance: Approved as amended by ED's 7/30/93 memorandum to OMB. OMB notes that ED has used this form without proper approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act since 1985. While this submission brings the form into compliance with the PRA, failure to do so previously represents a violation of the Act and will be recorded accordingly. In addition, E shall meet the follwoing conditions prior to release of the revised form: -- Questions 36 and 39 may be retained only if ED adds an instruction that respondents need not repeat information provided in Qs. 37 and 38 absent this instruction, duplicative information may be reported. -- Q. 42 is not approved. Universities are not in a position to asses exchange visitor impact on their home countries. As ED and OMB have agreed in previous discussions on this issue, ED will make this determination by relating exchage visitors' skills to the Exchange Visitor Skills list. The issue of need of the applicant institution is addressed in Q. 34, on how the visitor's departure would affect the program; ED may revise Q. 34 to directly ask about need. An according change shall be made to delete refernce to "Impact on Home Country" in the title of Section VI.
