This collection
is approved as amended and with the following corrections. To
improve the practical utility of the collection, we recommend that
ED make several additional changes: (1) under the revised question
3, move question 3(b) to immediately follow 3(a) rather than
placing it below the list of target groups; (2) under the revised
question 6(a), revise the second sentence to read: If yes, (i)
identify any test, questionnaires, or standards methods used, and
(ii) identify specific student outcomes measured including changes
in student reading levels, numbers of job placements and job
promotions, and any other specific increases in education
achievement or skill attainment. (3) under the revised question
6(b), revise the second sentence to read: If yes, briefly describe
how progress was determined and identify and outcomes identified or
recorded; (4) delete the new 6(c).
