Approved without
change from the forms currently used. As ED has requested, approval
is for the FY 1995 operations of the NSSP program. Approval for FY
1996, for which the Administration has requested no funding, is
conditional on funds being provided by Congress. If no funds are
provided, ED will remove these forms from the inventory as
appropriate. OMB notes that ED amended the Institional
Participation Agreement without obtaining proper PRA approval in
1994; this clearance brings that part of the NSSP program forms
into compliance with the PRA. -- Approval through 7/96 is granted
due to the potential elimination of this program in FY 1996, as
noted above.
