    Notice of Proposed Information Collection Request
    
    AGENCY: Department of Education.
    
    ACTION: Notice of proposed information collection request.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: The Director, Information Resources Group, invites comments on 
    the proposed information collection request as required by the 
    Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980.
    
    DATES: An emergency review has been requested in accordance with the 
    Act, since allowing for the normal review period would adversely affect 
    the public interest. Approval by the Office of Management and Budget 
    (OMB) has been requested by January 19, 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, 726 
    Jackson Place, NW., Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, 
    Washington, DC 20503. Requests for copies of the proposed information 
    collection request should be addressed to Patrick J. Sherrill, 
    Department of Education, 7th & D Streets, SW., Room 5624, Regional 
    Office Building 3, Washington, DC 20202-4651.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
    Patrick J. Sherrill (202) 708-9915. Individuals who use a 
    telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal 
    Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 between 8 a.m. and 8 
    p.m., Eastern time, Monday through Friday.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3517 of the Paperwork Reducation 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 of Federal law, or substantially 
    interfere with any agency's ability to perform its statutory 
    obligations. The Director, Information Resources Group, publishes this 
    notice with attached proposed information collection requests prior to 
    submission to OMB. For each proposed information collection request, 
    groups by office, this notice contains the following information: (1) 
    Type of review requested, e.g., new, revision, extension, existing, or 
    reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Frequency of collection; (4) The affected 
    public; (5) Reporting and/or Recordkeeping burden; and (6) Abstract. 
    Because an emergency review is requested, the additional information to 
    be requested in this collection is included in the section on 
    ``Additional Information'' in this notice.
    
        Dated: January 19, 1995.

    Director, Information Resources Group.

    Type of Review: Emergency
    Title: Education Flexibility Partnership Demonstration Program
    Abstract: The Education Flexibility Partnership Demonstration Program 
    is an education flexibility program under which the Secretary may grant 
    up to six State Educational agencies (SEAs) the authority to waive 
    certain Federal statutory or regulatory requirements for the SEA, or 
    for any local educational agency (LEA) or [[Page 4902]] school within 
    the State. The Department will use the information to determine which 
    applicants should be designated as ``ED-Flex Partnership States,'' thus 
    receiving delegated authority to grant waivers of certain federal 
    statutory and regulatory requirements.
    Additional Information: An emergency review for this collection is 
    requested for OMB approval by January 19, 1995, to assure that states 
    will have sufficient notice of the application requirements and 
    selection criteria. We expect to make awards during the spring of 1995 
    to facilitate State and local reform efforts.
    Frequency: One time
    Affected Public: State or local governments
    Reporting Burden: Responses: 57
    Burden Hours: 4,560
    Recordkeeping Burden: Recordkeepers: 3
    Burden Hours: 240
