OMB is not
approving this approval request at this time for the following
reason: Because provisions on the recently enacted Workforce
Investment Act (WIA) will require ED to make substantive changes to
the NPRM which will have a direct effect on the reporting and
recordkeeping requirements, it is more appropiate for OMB to review
these regulatory provisions under the PRA when ED makes the
necessary changes conforming to WIA requirements. Therefore, ED
should submit a revised package to OMB in conjunction with
submitting a final rule and should plan to take the necessary steps
under the PRA (e.g., Federal Register Notices) so that the new
package is submitted in a timely fashion under regular clearance
procedures. In the interim, ED's current approval will still be
valid and will lapse on 12/31/98.
