The forms
originally submitted to OMB with this package have been replaced
with the forms currently approved by OMB because ED would not be
able to use the new forms electronically for the next information
collection. OMB is granting ED an extension on the current forms
only for the next collection. ED will resubmit this package with
the new, revised forms next year, and will have the capability to
allow respondents to submit the new forms electronically. Further,
before resubmission, ED will look into reducing the burden hours
per respondent.
