Comments on this ICR were solicited through an associated Notice of Proposed Priorities (NPP) as part of a one-time pilot project agreed to by ED and OMB. This collection is "preapproved;" ED may collect data following publication of the NFP, so long as no revisions are necessary based on changes to the priorties or based on public comment. If revisions are necessary at that point, ED will resubmit the collection for OMB approval, but no public comment period will be required.
