Approved as
amended by ED's memo to OMB of 12/13/97. In addition ED agrees to
the following conditions: 1) ED has indicated that they will submit
an approval request for revised CCD surveys on 2/1/98. In that
submission, ED will include a schedule that will indicate the dates
by which any further changes to the survey would need to be
implemented in order to have the final version of the survey ready
for use in the 1998-99 school years. Also, the 2/1/98 submission
should provide an estimate of how many states will not be able to
report the new data required by the revised surveys until the 99-00
school year. Based on that estimate, ED will provide a
justification for the utility of using the revised survey in 98-99.
Also, if ED fails to submit the approval request by 2/1/98, they
will submit to OMB a draft versions of the approval request at that
time; 2) In terms of the state finance survey (NPEFS) ED will, to
the best of its ability, provide in the 2/1/98 submission GASB's
schedule for changing accounting standards, what ED expects those
changes to be, and what impact ED expects the changes to habe on
the CCD surveys; 3) ED will provide in the 2/1/98 submission a
detailed discussion of NCES's contract efforts to develop
definitions and guidelines for maintaining technology data on state
and school district records systems. The discussion should focus on
the time-frame for development and the content and scope of the
efforts under way; 4) ED will in the 2/1/98 submission update the
discussion of duplication that appears in the current supporting
statement and include the specific strategy, if any, that ED and/or
the DCC has for addressing the duplication.
