early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. OMB
may amend or waive the requirement for public consultation to the
extent that public participation in the approval process would defeat
the purpose of the information collection, violate State or Federal
law, or substantially interfere with any agency's ability to perform
its statutory obligations. The IC Clearance Official, Regulatory
Information Management Services, Office of Management, publishes that
notice containing proposed information collection requests prior to

Abstract: The Federal
Pell Grant, ACG, and National SMART Programs
are student financial assistance programs authorized under the Higher
Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as amended. These programs provide grant
assistance to an eligible student attending an institution of higher
education. The institution determines the student's award and disburses
program funds to the student on behalf of the Department (ED). To
account for the funds disbursed, institutions report student payment
information to ED electronically. COD is a simplified process for
requesting, reporting, and reconciling Pell Grant, ACG, and National
SMART funds.
