Terms of Clearance: This form is approved for government-wide use. Any grant-making agency that intends to use the survey under ED's approval must contact ED and provide the necessary burden information. ED will then submit a change worksheet (83-C) to OMB to account for the additional burden. ED will follow-up annually with all participating agencies to ensure that the burden hour calculation remains correct. Any changes to burden hour calculation will be adjusted through a 83-C. At this point in time, ED and grants.gov have identified this form as a potential candidate for adoption as a government-wide form under grants.gov. ED will continue to work with grants.gov to determine if grants.gov can assume burden and OMB clearance responsibilities for this form.
