In addition, the following terms of clearance apply: (1) ED will report to OMB by the next submission of this clearance package strategies for developing an electronic option for respondents to submit these forms using appropriate electronic signature alternatives. (2) Because ED consolidated 1840-0720 (an active OMB#) into this approval request, ED should submit to OMB a change sheet which terminates that collection. (3) ED will, within 6 months of clearance, make the appropriate changes to the form and form process so that ED will accept photo-copies (or images) of forms without the original signature. If ED finds that they cannot meet this time frame, they will report to OMB an alternative strategy for addressing this change. When the change is made, ED will change the instructions on the form accordingly and submit an addendum to this package to OMB outlining the change. (4) ED will submit to OMB any changes to the form that ED listed as *conditional depending on space* in the 1/12/99 memo.
