SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act

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 Deputy Chief Information Officer, Office
of the Chief Information Officer, 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.

Abstract: Section 304(e) of the Goals 2000: Educate America Act
authorizes the Secretary to award direct grants to LEAs in States that
were not participating in Goals 2000 as of October 20, 1995, if the
applicable SEA approves the LEAs' participation in Goals 2000 as of
that date. Both the Oklahoma and Montana SEAs have approved LEA
participation in this direct grant program. The Goals 2000 Act is
designed to help States and communities develop and implement their own
education reforms focused on challenging academic standards in order to
increase student academic achievement.
This information collection is being submitted under the
Streamlined Clearance Process for Discretionary Grant Information
Collections (OMB Control No. 1890-0001). Therefore, this 30-day public
comment period notice will be the only public comment notice published
