Abstract: The Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements are currently part of another collection, OMB Control number 1890-0004. The 1890-0004 collection currently includes three distinct information collection instruments, the ED 524 Budget Form, the ED 524B Grant Performance Report and the recordkeeping and reporting requirements that carry burden in EDGAR. As part of the renewal of these instruments, we are requesting that each of the instruments be approved under separate OMB Control numbers. Separating these instruments into three information collections will make it easier to make additions deletions, revisions or other needed changes to each instrument throughout the approval period and eliminate any potential confusion when changes are made to only one of the instruments. We are requesting a new OMB Control number for the EDGAR Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements and a three year approval for this collection. Please note that the ED 524B, Grant Performance Report will retain the 1890-0004 number.

Short Statement: Although this is a new information collection package, the EDGAR recordkeeping and reporting requirement is not a new information collection instrument. The EDGAR recordkeeping and reporting requirements were previously part of the 1890-0004 collection. The burden hours for the remaining EDGAR recordkeeping and reporting requirements have increased overall to reflect the actual number of time extensions notifications received by ED in FY 2006 (which was greater than the number estimated in FY 2003). Please note, however, that in general the burden hour calculations for the rest of the EDGAR recordkeeping and reporting requirements have decreased due to a decreased number of respondents (which is based on FY 2006 grantee data).
