Approved as
amended by ED's 2/27/97 memorandum to OMB. In addition, approval is
conditonal on ED reviewing the existing regulatory provisions on
how the CDP ties into grantee's past performance. To maximize the
utility of this information, the regulation may need to be revised
to require grantees to report prior progress on the CDP along with
prior-funded grant activities, and report on all aspects of the
CDP. Upon the next submission of this package for PRA review, ED
shall report on the status of any resulting regulatory revisions or
explain why none are being pursued.
