    Type of Review: A new ICR.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.

    Abstract: ED will use the Entry Evidence ICR form and the 
Evaluation & Exit Evidence ICR form for discretionary grant programs 
that: (1) Use the standard ED 524-B Grant Performance Report form as 
approved by OMB. The use of the standard ED 524-B Grant Performance 
Report promotes the standardization and streamlining of ED 
discretionary grant performance reporting. These performance reporting 
components are necessary to standardize information collection about 
Entry evidence, and Evaluation & Exit evidence use in grant 
implementation and to ensure a better, more comprehensive understanding 
of the use of evidence from what is provided in a grant application to 
the actual implementation of the grant project.
