-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Director, Information Resources Group, invites comments on
proposed information collection requests as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1980.
DATES: An expedited review has been requested in accordance with the

(OMB) has been requested by February 22, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attention: Dan Chenok, Desk
Officer, Department of Education, Office of Management and Budget, 725

telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal
Information Relay Services (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 between 8 a.m. and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3517 of the paperwork Reduction Act
of 1980 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 3517) requires that the Director of OMB
provide interested Federal agencies and persons 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 Group, publishes this notice
with the attached proposed information collection request prior to
submission of this request to OMB. This notice contains the following
information:
(1) Type of review requested, e.g., expedited;
(2) Title;
(3) Abstract;
(4) Additional Information;
(5) Frequency of collection;
(6) Affected public; and
(7) Reporting and/or Recordkeeping burden. Because an expedited
review is requested, a description of the information to be collected
is also included as an attachment to this notice.

Abstract: This collection of information is necessary in order to allow
institutions of higher education and other eligible parties to present
proposals for awards for research and development centers in gifted and
talented education and other mission areas. The information is to be
used to determine which applicants propose the most promising research
and development activities.
Additional Information: An expedited review is being requested for
February 22, 1994. The request for expedited review of this package is
based on the program's interest in making a center award for a center
in gifted and talented education research within fiscal year 1995. Such
an award is specifically called for by the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and
Talented Education Act of 1994. This activity has twice been subject to
various delays that have already occurred. An expedited review will
give the program office 15 days to review public comment, determine
whether any changes are required, and go forward with the grant
competition without any delay.
