accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the

Abstract: The Education Department General Administrative
Regulations (EDGAR) contains several requirements that grantees
maintain certain types of records related to their grants and to report
or submit certain information to the Department. Part 74 of EDGAR
applies to Institutions of Higher Education, nonprofit organizations,
and hospitals. Additionally, under 34 CFR 75.261, all types of grantees
including State Educational Agencies, Local Educational Agencies, and
Federally Recognized Indian Tribal Governments may follow the
regulations in 34 CFR 74.25 (e)(2) regarding extension of a project
period. Section 74.25 (e)(2) allows grantees to initiate a one-time
extension of their projects' expiration date of up to 12 months without
prior approval from the Department of Education. These grantee
requirements are necessary for the effective administration and
monitoring of grant projects.
