SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with 
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact 
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's 
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in 
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed 
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The 
Department of Education is especially interested in public comment 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to 
the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be 
processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden 
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the 
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, 
including through the use of information technology. Please note that 
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered 
public records.
    Title of Collection: U.S. Department of Education Supplemental 
Information for the SF-424 Form.
    OMB Control Number: 1894-0007.
    Type of Review: An extension of a previously approved information 
collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Organizations.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 5,976.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,972.
    Abstract: There is an adjustment decrease in both the number of 
respondents and the number of burden hours estimated in this 
collection. The number of respondents for this collection is 8,078 
compared to the current inventory for this collection of 5,976. The 
burden hours for this collection total 2666 compared to the current 
inventory of 1972 burden hours. Due to a decrease in funding to the 
Department's discretionary grant programs there was a decrease in the 
number of discretionary grant applications received and an adjustment 
to a decrease in burden hours of 694.
