For-profit organizations working in education-related areas in which there is little or no not-for-profit activity will also be considered for inclusion in EROD. ED reserves the right to deny or remove links if it is determined that a group's web site is primarily commercial in nature (e.g., advertising a product, charging a usage fee, soliciting user information, etc.), if there is any indication of misleading or unsubstantiated claims, or if it is judged by ED to be in conflict with ED's mission. -------------------------------------------------------------- According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number.
