Abstract:
The ED 524B form and instructions are used by many ED discretionary grant programs to enable grantees to meet ED deadline dates for submission of performance reports to the Department. As an interim (usually annual) performance report, ED uses the information submitted by grantees in the ED 524B to evaluate grantee performance and progress and to determine whether non-competing continuation funds should be awarded in multi-year grants. Only grantees that can demonstrate that they are making substantial progress (or, if not, have submitted an acceptable plan for meeting their objectives in subsequent budget periods) are eligible for continuation funding. ED uses the information submitted on the ED 524B as a final performance report to determine whether grantees whose projects have ended have achieved project objectives and met or exceeded the Government Performance and Results Act and/or other program performance measures and grant requirements. This determination enables ED to assure that grants can be closed out in compliance.

Short Statement:
The total burden hours for the 1894-0003 collection are being increased from 169,390 to 297,800 hours due to an increase in the number of applications. This change is caused by changes in budget and grant priorities. Some programs have decided to use different reporting forms including most programs in IES. Based on projected program usage of the ED 524B for FY 2023 and the following two fiscal years, we are requesting 297,800 total annual burden hours for the ED 524B. This is a program change increase in burden hours.
