ICR Change Memo - GEPA

U.S. Department of Education 

 

 

Agency Information Collection: General Education Provisions Act (GEPA) 427 Requirement

 

AGENCY:  Department of Education (ED), Office of the Secretary (OS) 

 

OMB Control Number: 1894-0005

 

 

SUMMARY:   

 

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 3501 et seq.), ED is submitting a simple change request to the eligibility criteria for the existing information collection as outlined in this memo. The Department has assessed the proposed changes and believe that they do not have an impact on respondent burden.

 

1. Name of Agency Information Collection

 

This non-substantive change request includes an update to remove examples in the notes section of the form as the examples are not needed to fulfill the statutory requirement. We think the primary respondents to this form will be our discretionary grant program applicants, who are already required to fill out the existing form each time they apply for a Department’s discretionary grant program. The change does not impact an applicant’s use or completion of the form and instead allows applicants to identify potential barriers without naming examples. The questions on the form remain the same.

 

The aggregate respondent numbers and burden hours for these updates will remain unchanged under OMB Control Number 1894-0005.
