Approved as
amended by ED's 1/22/96 memorandum to OMB. Approval for two years
will allow ED to complete testing duplication with NSLDS, at which
time many of these data elements can be eliminated. Cost burden
data are zero because cost of time to complete this form is not
included in this figure, which represents actual dollars expended
in completing the form. Due to the government shutdowns, approval
of today falls within the PRA approval time frames.
