PRIOR TO
BEGINNING THIS INFORMATION COLLECTION EDUCATION MUST PROVIDE OMB
WITH A LEGAL OPINION SIGNED BY THE DEPARTMENT'S GENERAL COUNCIL
ADDRESSING THE FOLLOWING: 1. THE SPECIFIC STATUTORY
RESPONSIBILITIES FOR CONDUCTING THIS DATA COLLECTION AND WHAT LEGAL
PROBLEMS, IF ANY, WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH ACCEPTING THIS DATA AS A
GIFT. THE QUESTION OF WHETHER THESE STATUTOR RESPONSIBILITIES CAN
BE FULFILLED IN A SITUATION WHERE A CONTRACTURAL RELATIONSHIP WITH
THE COLLECTOR OF THE DATA DOES NOT EXIST SHOULD BE DISCUSSED IN THE
OPINION. 2. ANY CONFLICTS WITH EXISTING PROCUREMENT REGULATIONS
PERTAINING TO EDUCATION DEPARTMENT ACTIVITIES RESULTING FROM
ACCEPTING THIS DATA AS A GIFT OR FOR A NOMINAL FEE ON A
NON-COMPETITIVE BASIS. THE LEGAL OPINION MUST BE PROVIDED AT LEAST
2 WEEKS BEFORE BEGINNING THE DATA COLLECTION. AFTER REVIEWING THE
LEGAL OPINION, OMB MAY RECONSIDER THE APPROVAL OF THE INFORMATION
COLLECTION. OMB REPRESENTATIVES DISCUSSED THESE ISSUES WITH
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS ON 4-9-84 WITH REGARD TO AN OFFER
MADE BY A PRIVATE SECTOR FIRM. THIS LEGAL OPINION IS NECESSARY TO
CLARIFY THE DEPARTMENT'S POSITION AS TO WHY SUCH AN OFFER CANNOT BE
ACCEPTED.
