public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed, 
revised, and continuing collections of information. This helps the 
Department assess the impact of its information collection requirements

understand the Department's information collection requirements and 
provide the requested data in the desired format. ED is soliciting 
comments on the proposed information collection request (ICR) that is 
described below. The Department of Education is especially interested 
in public comment addressing the following issues: (1) Is this 
collection necessary to the proper functions of the Department; (2) 
will this information be processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is 
the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance 
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; 
and (5) how might the Department minimize the burden of this collection 
on the respondents, including through the use of information 
technology. Please note that written comments received in response to 
this notice will be considered public records.
    Title of Collection: Generic Application Package for Departmental 
Generic Grant Programs.
    OMB Control Number: 1894-0006.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 9,861.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 447,089.
    Abstract: The Department is requesting an extension of the approval 
for the Generic Application Package that numerous ED discretionary 
grant programs use to provide to applicants the forms and information 
needed to apply for new grants under those grant program competitions. 
The Department will use this Generic Application package for 
discretionary grant programs that: (1) Use the standard ED or Federal-
wide grant applications forms that have been cleared separately through 
OMB under the terms of this generic clearance as approved by OMB and 
(2) use selection criteria from the Education Department General 
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR); selection criteria that reflect 
statutory or regulatory provisions that have been developed under 34 
CFR 75.209, or a combination of EDGAR, statutory or regulatory criteria 
or other provisions, as authorized under 34 CFR 75.200 and 75.209. The 
use of the standard ED grant application forms and the use of EDGAR 
and/or criteria developed under Sec. Sec.  75.200 and 75.209 promotes 
the standardization and streamlining of ED discretionary grant 
application packages.
