SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act

early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. OMB 
may amend or waive the requirement for public consultation to the 
extent that public participation in the approval process would defeat 
the purpose of the information collection, violate State or Federal 
law, or substantially interfere with any agency's ability to perform 
its statutory obligations. The Leader, Information Management Group, 
Office of the Chief Information Officer, publishes that notice 
containing proposed information collection requests prior to submission 
of these requests to OMB. Each proposed information collection, grouped 
by office, contains the following: (1) Type of review requested, e.g. 
new, revision, extension, existing or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) 
Summary of the collection; (4) Description of the need for, and 
proposed use of, the information; (5) Respondents and frequency of 
collection; and (6) Reporting and/or Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites

    Abstract: The Comprehensive Program is a discretionary grant 
program that makes competitive awards to support reform and innovations 
through projects that improve educational practice at the postsecndary 
level. Grantees annually submit a performance report to demonstrate 
that substantial progress is being made toward meeting the objectives 
of their projects. Reporting requirements are currently based on broad 
criteria from the Education Department General Administrative 
Regulations (EDGAR). This request is to use a reporting format that 
elicits needed information on program-specific outcomes within the 
annual report without posing additional burden to the grantee.
