Approved consistent with ED's memo to OMB of 10/27/99. OMB notes the the forms 2000 initiative will replace the need for this form 1189 and thus this form is extended for 1 year to allow time for full implenentation of the new reporting system. OMB further notes, that several of the previous terms of clearance are still in effect. Specifically: 1) ED will continue its work towards eliminating the current GA reporting system (i.e. the 1189 and 1130) in favor of a system based on loan-level data (NSLDS or a successor system). 2) To the maximum extent possible, the NSLDS-based system (or the successor system based on loan-level data) should be: (a) the primary data source for ED's information needs related to GAs; (b) provide timely and accurate data; (c) be capable of supporting clean audits; (d) eliminate unnecessary burden on GAs while ensuring that ED has adequate data to not only make payments to GAs, but to effectively manage and improve ED's financial management system and the student financial aid process in general. 3) ED will ensure that the initiative to further consolidate and streamline the GA forms (the "forms 2000" initiative) acts as an effective interim step towards the end goal of an NSLDS system consistent with term 2 above. Further, ED will continue its work with GAs to ensure that the transition to the NSLDS-based system is minimally burdensome. Specifically, ED should provide GAs with expected future requirements under the NSLDS- based system and where appropriate, provide timelines for implementation. Further, ED should continue to consult GAs on the burden-implications of taking multiple interim steps vs. making a change to NSLDS in one step. 4) OMB commends ED for the hard work they have done thus far in consolidating the GA forms and investigating NSLDS reasonability.
