Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements in the

Education Department General Administrative (EDGAR) Regulations

“CFR” refers to Code of Federal Regulations.

Section of 34 CFR and 2 CFR	Title	Description of Recordkeeping or Reporting Requirement	Recordkeeping Burden Hrs.	Reporting Burden Hrs.
200.308	Budget/ program revisions.	2 CFR 200 of the Uniform Administrative Requirements applies to Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs), nonprofit organizations (NPOs), and hospitals. Of the approximately 8,800 discretionary grants (new and non-competing continuation grants) that ED awards annually, 7,800 grants were awarded to IHEs, NPOs, and hospitals. Under 2 CFR 200.308 of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, very few project revisions require prior approval. It is estimated that ED will receive approximately 880 prior approval requests from grantees per year (represents 10% of the 8,800 grants awarded annually) and that approximately 780 of those requests will be submitted by IHEs, NPOs, and hospitals (represents 10% of the approximately 7,800 grants awarded to IHEs, NPOs and hospitals annually). Additionally, under 34 CFR 75.261, all types of grantees including State Educational Agencies (SEAs), Local Educational Agencies (LEAs), and Federally Recognized Indian Tribal Governments may follow the regulations in 2 CFR 200.308 regarding extension of a project period. Section 200.308 allows grantees to initiate a one-time extension of their projects’ expiration date of up to 12 months without prior approval from ED. Grantees, however, must notify the Department that they intend to extend their grants and indicate the supporting reasons for the extension and the revised expiration date. Based on FY 2023 time extension data from G5, the grant management system), approximately 925 grantees annually will receive this one-time extension of up to 12 months of their project periods. REPORTING BURDEN		(Prior Approval Requests: 780 responses x 1 hr. = 780 hrs.) (Time Extension Notifications: 925 responses X 1 hr. = 925 hours) Total Reporting Burden Hours for 2 CFR 200.308 = 1,705 hours
200.318	Procurement Procedures.	It is estimated that approximately 20% (1,560) of the 7,800 IHE, NPO and hospital recipients must keep records on procurement actions under their discretionary grants. RECORDKEEPING BURDEN	1,560 responses x 10 hrs. = 15,600 hrs.
200.323	Cost and price analysis.	Justification and burden hours for 2 CFR 200.323 are included under 2 CFR 318.
200.318	Procurement records.	Justification and burden hours for 200.318are included under 2 CFR 318.
200.318	Contract Adminis-tration.	Justification and burden hours for 200.318 are included under 2 CFR 318.

Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements in the

Education Department General Administrative (EDGAR) Regulations

Section of 34 CFR and 2 CFR	Title	Description of Recordkeeping or Reporting Requirement	Recordkeeping Burden Hrs.	Reporting Burden Hrs.
200.344	Subsequent Adjustments.	It is estimated that approximately 10% (780) of the 7800 IHE, NPO and hospital recipients would have to make subsequent adjustments to records due to audits or other reviews. RECORDKEEPING BURDEN	780 responses X 10 hours = 7800 hrs.
75.119 cross referen-ced to 76.656	Information needed if private school students participate.	It is estimated that approximately 10% (880) of 8,800 ED discretionary grant recipients include students from private schools in their applications. This information would be a part of the original application narrative. REPORTING BURDEN		880 responses x 1 hr. = 880 hrs.
75.261	Extension of a project period.	It is estimated that annually, approximately 140 grant recipients will request a second (or more) extension of their project periods that requires prior approval from ED (based on FY 2019 time extension data from G5). Note that recipients under the four National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research programs listed in 34 CFR 75.261 (b) of EDGAR must request prior approval for any time extension. The burden hours for any of these NIDRR grantees that request and receive a time extension are included with the burden hour calculations for one-time extension listed above under 2 CFR 200.308. REPORTING BURDEN		140 responses X 1 hr. = 140 hrs. (Note: the burden hours for time extension requests for grantees in the NIDRR programs listed under EDGAR, 75.261 (b) are included with the burden hours for one-time extensions listed under 2 CFR 200.308.
200.308	Changes.	It is estimated that approximately 10% (190) of 1900 State Educational Agencies (SEAs), Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) and Federally-Recognized Indian Tribal Governments will request changes to their projects that require prior approval from ED. Very few changes require prior approval and information from grantees. REPORTING BURDEN		190 responses x 1 hr. = 190 hrs.
200.317	Procurement.	It is estimated that approximately 20% (380) of the 1900 SEA, LEA and tribal government recipients must keep records on procurement actions under their discretionary grants. RECORDKEEPING BURDEN	380 responses x 10 hours = 3800 hrs.
		TOTAL BURDEN HRS. = 29,975	Total Recordkeeping Burden Hours = 27,200	Total Reporting Burden Hours = 2,775
