The Education Department General
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) contain several requirements
that grantees maintain certain types of records related to their
grants and to report or submit certain information to the
Department. Part 74 of EDGAR applies to Institutions of Higher
Education, nonprofit organizations, and hospitals. Additionally,
under 34 CFR 75.261, all types of grantees including State
Educational Agencies, Local Educational Agencies, and Federally
Recognized Indian Tribal Governments may follow the regulations in
34 CFR 74.25 (e)(2) regarding extension of a project period.
Section 74.25 (e)(2) allows grantees to initiate a one-time
extension of their projects' expiration date of up to 12 months
without prior approval from the Department of Education. These
grantee requirements are necessary for the effective administration
and monitoring of grant projects.

The burden hours for the EDGAR
recordkeeping and reporting requirements have a decreased
adjustment of 20,380 hours. This decrease is an overall reflection
of the actual number of time extensions notifications received by
ED in FY 2013 (which was smaller than the number estimated in FY
2010) and a decrease in the number of awards awarded to IHEs, NPOs
and Hospitals in FY 2013.
