Short Statement: For years this OPE program was one of seven programs within the Title VI and Filbright-Hays information collection (1840-0068). The program office has decided to provide greater flexibility to its public considering varying deadline dates and competitions and now is clearing each individual program with OMB separately. Even though it would appear that there is a gain of public burden, in reality, it remains the same as it has been.
