4. In any Federal Register announcement preceding OMB submission under this generic clearance, ED will reiterate the process for this generic clearance and make clear that the thirty day period in conjunction with OMB review is the only public comment period for collections under this generic clearance; and
5. Each information collection submitted under this clearance will retain its original OMB number, however, all references in ROCIS and in the Federal Register announcement for each individual submission will reference 1890-0001.

The information collection plan provides the U.S. Department of Education with the option of submitting its discretionary grant information collections through a streamlined Paperwork Reduction Act clearance process which do not fit under the Generic Application (1890-0009). This streamlined clearance process will continue when the Department submits the information collection to the OMB and, at the same time, publishes a 30-day public comment period notice in the Federal Register.
There is no change in the burden this year from the burden of 3 years ago. This is a holding 1 hour and each submission under this nOMB number will display its own burden.
