Approved as amended by ED's memo to OMB of 11/03/97. In addition, ED agrees to to the following conditions: 1) ED will continue its consultation with other programs within ED in order to ensure that information collected in this approval request is not duplicated and is collected in a useful way; 2) Specifically, ED will consult with other programs (e.g., Golas 2000) in order to ensure that these other programs are aware of the fact that OESE is collecting assessment data, how they are collecting it, and what performance indicators this data relate to; 3) In the next submission of this approval request, ED will consider revising the method with which assessment data is collected in order to better adapt to the progress States make in developing their individual assessment collection strategies; 4) ED will provide an 83-C to adjust the burden estimate given the new Table F. Furthermore, a one year clearance was given because ED has indicated that assessment data collection strategies are currently in a transitional period.
