Approved
consistent with ED's memos and revisions of 5/31/00 and 6/1/00.
Prior to implementation of the study, ED will submit to OMB final
versions of the survey, results of the pilot test, revised burden
hour estimates as well as a revised estimate of the annual cost to
the Federal government. OMB notes that in general, ED should
provide final versions of documents and estimates at the time of
OMB submission. However, in this instance, ED has an opportunity to
coordinate multiple collections and thus final versions can be
submitted at a later time.
