Approved as
amended by ED's 7/30/93 memorandum to OMB. OMB notes that ED has
used this form without proper approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act since 1985. While this submission brings the form
into compliance with the PRA, failure to do so previously
represents a violation of the Act and will be recorded accordingly.
In addition, E shall meet the follwoing conditions prior to release
of the revised form: -- Questions 36 and 39 may be retained only if
ED adds an instruction that respondents need not repeat information
provided in Qs. 37 and 38 absent this instruction, duplicative
information may be reported. -- Q. 42 is not approved. Universities
are not in a position to asses exchange visitor impact on their
home countries. As ED and OMB have agreed in previous discussions
on this issue, ED will make this determination by relating exchage
visitors' skills to the Exchange Visitor Skills list. The issue of
need of the applicant institution is addressed in Q. 34, on how the
visitor's departure would affect the program; ED may revise Q. 34
to directly ask about need. An according change shall be made to
delete refernce to "Impact on Home Country" in the title of Section
VI.
