Abstract: ED is requesting that OMB consider a change request that would update ICR #1840-0820 to include only the Educational Opportunity Centers Program Profile and Program Assurances. Other information contained in the currently approved version of the Educational Opportunity Centers application booklet, including standard forms and any sections not required by the PRA and not related to the program-specific forms listed above, will be included in the Application Notice and Instructions as appropriate. There is no change to the information being collected or the burden.
