Approved for two
years consistent with the revisions received 1/23/06 and 1/24/06.
Upon resubmission, ED will brief OMB on: 1) the status of ED's
unification of this collection with the PBDMI/ EDEN system; and 2)
ED's progress in implementing a consistent annual reporting cycle.
OMB understands that ED plans to move to initializing data
collection in December (for the previous school year) and
submitting the requisite annual report to Congress the following
April. Additionally, this collection does not currently meet OMB
standards for the collection of data on race and ethnicity. ED and
OMB are working to bring this and ED's other collections into
conformance with OMB standards for data on race and ethnicity.
