Approved as amended by ED's memorandum to OMB of 9/10/97. In addition, ED has agreed to meet the following conditions: This Grantee Reporting Form replaces the Rehabilitation Services Administration Training Payback Reporting Form that is currently a part of a separate clearance package (OMB# 1820-0018). Thus, when ED resubmits 1820-0018 for clearance, the Rehabilitation Services Administration Training Payback Reporting Form will be removed from the package; ED will in the next submission of this package (1820-0617) consider the use of RSA staff resources in calculating the cost of this collection to respondents; ED will employ methods for increasing the electronic response rate for this form and will report on progress in this area in the next clearance request; ED will continue to ensure that none of the information requested in the grantee reporting form is duplicated in the Grantee Performance Report; ED will in the next submission consider small colleges and universities as small entities when assessing the impact on small entities. Furthermore, in order to improve utility prior to distribution: ED will eliminate the "Place of Employment" category; ED will change the instruction for the "Acceptable Place of Employment" category to "Report the acceptable place of employment as a State agency, non-profit service provider, or practice group, etc. If place of employment is not acceptable, e.g. the location does not meet payback requirements, then enter N/A."; ED will eliminate the "Date Work Must Be Completed" category; ED will include the "Date Work Must Begin" category; ED, when referring respondent to a regulation or manual in this form, will cite to the specific regulation or manual; ED will fix the instructions on page 3 of the form so that they no longer run off the page.
