This package is
approved for 3 years-- the previous clearance on 6/14/02 was only
granted for 2 weeks due to a mistake in the 83-I submitted by
Education. Education shall take care to assure that submissions are
correct prior to OMB clearance in order to avoid this situation in
the future. As per the previous terms of clearance, the disability
discharge form will be used until July 1, 2002, at which point a
revised disability discharge form will take the place of the form
cleared under the current OMB number. The other discharge forms
will continue to be cleared under this OMB number for the duration
of the 3-year clearance.
