Description
The U.S. Department of Education is proposing an extension without change of a currently approved information collection request related to grant application forms for project objectives and performance measures. This collection serves as a precursor to the Grant Performance Report Form, enabling grantees to meet submission deadlines for performance reports. The Department invites public comments to ensure compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act and to assess the impact and utility of the information collection.
