    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
    of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires that the Office of Management 
    and Budget (OMB) provide interested Federal agencies and the public an 
    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 Director, Information Resources 
    Management Group publishes this notice containing proposed information 
    collection requests prior to submission of these requests to OMB. Each 
    proposed information collection, grouped by office, contains the 
    following: (1) Type of review requested, e.g., new, revision, 
    extension, existing or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of the 
    collection; (4) Description of the need for, and proposed use of, the 
    information; (5) Respondents and frequency of collection; and (6) 
    Reporting and/or Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites public comment at 
    the address specified above. Copies of the requests are available from 
    Patrick J. Sherrill at the address specified above.
        The 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.
