12/96 per ED's request of 5/6/96 and 5/7/96 memorandum to OMB. ED
will submit surveys under this generic clearance for review as
addenda to the generic clearance package. Within two weeks of
receipt, OMB will provide ED with either a clearance or comments on
the individual surveys, and will work with ED to resolve any
outstanding issues expeditiously. Each ED survey shall be
accompanied by a cover memo that explains the purposes of the
survey, research questions being addressed, how the survey items
will answer the research questions, any changes to the methodology
from the generic (e.g., a half-sample will be taken), the burden
and cost of the survey, ED's analysis plan, any cover letter or
additional material that will be sent to respondents, and any other
information that is relevant to OMB's review. The information in
this cover memo shall be open for public comment during the 30-day
comment period.
