Abstract: The ED-524 Budget Information Non-Construction Programs Form and Instructions were previously part of another collection, OMB Control number 1890-0004. The 1890-0004 collection currently includes three distinct information collection instruments, the ED 524 Budget Form, the ED 524B Grant Performance Report and the administrative requirements in the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR). As part of the renewal of these instruments, we are requesting that each of the instruments be approved under separate OMB Control numbers. Separating these instruments into three information collections will make it easier to make additions deletions, revisions or other needed changes to each instrument throughout the approval period and eliminate any potential confusion when changes are made to only one of the instruments. We are requesting a new OMB Control number for the ED 524, Budget Form and a three year approval. Please note that the ED 524B, Grant Performance Report will retain the 1890-0004 number. The ED 524 form and instructions are included in U.S. Department of Education (ED) discretionary grant application packages and are needed in order for applicants to submit summary-level budget data by budget category, as well as a detailed budget narrative, to request and justify their proposed grant budgets which are part of their grant applications.

Short Statement: Please note that the Budget Information and Non-Construction Programs, ED-524 Budget Form and Instructions is an information collection instrument that is currently part of OMB Control Number 1890-0004. The current 1890-0004 collection includes three distinct information collection instruments; separating them into three information collections will make it easier to make additions deletions, revisions or other needed changes to each instrument throughout the approval period. The number of respondents and corresponding burden hours for the ED 524 and EDGAR Administrative Requirements collections (which will now have new OMB control numbers) will be subtracted from the numbers for OMB control number 1890-0004, which will now be used only for the ED 524B, Grant Performance Report.
