                collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact
                of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's
                reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's

                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.

                 Abstract: In response to grant monitors need for a better reporting
                mechanism for grantee budgets, the G5 team developed an electronic
                budget form for grantees to complete. This electronic form requires
                grantees to detail the budget categories from which they are expending
                funds for Department grant monitors to track more carefully the
                drawdowns and financial management systems of grantees. Although this
                form may be used by all grantees, at this time only grantees on cost
                reimbursement or route payment status will be required to use this form
                when reporting their budget, requesting funds, and accessing funds.
                 Dated: June 25, 2020.
