Approved for
emergency clearance through 9/30/04. When this collection is next
submitted for regular approval, the package should only receive
clearance through 8/31/05. During this time, ED will work to
establish procedures to collect this information electronically and
establish procedures to ensure that the information collected is
maintained in a secure manner. When this collection is next
approved, OMB will request that ED report approximately 6 months
after the next clearance date on the progress in meeting these two
goals. Also, the 83i submitted on this request mistakenly requested
$106,109,000 in respondent costs. This amount has been removed from
this request.
