Approved as
amended by ED's memos of OMB of 5/7/98 and 5/11/98 as well as the
revised instrument submitted to OMB on 5/11/98. In addition, due to
the time sensitive nature of this package, OMB is approving ED's
use of the old race- ethnicity categories in this instance. The
fact that the race- ethnicity information requested in this package
is in the form of administrative records does not in and of itself
justify use of the old categories; for example, new or revised
federal data collections may lead states to revise their
administrative records, allowing for collection under the new
race-ethnicity categories. ED will take necessary steps to expedite
the implementation of the new race-ethnicity categories for future
collections. Further, ED will continue to investigate the
feasibility of using email as a medium for transmission of
applications in future competitions.
