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 Leader, Information Management Group,
Office of the Chief Financial and Chief Information Officer, publishes
that 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.

Type of Review: New.
Title: School-level Expenditure Survey Field Test.
Frequency: One time.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit; Not-for-profit
institutions; State, local or Tribal Gov't, SEAs or LEAs.
Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:
Responses: 525.
Burden Hours: 658.
Abstract: This field test would test the procedures and an
instrument for collecting public school-level expenditure data from
public school district financial officers and private school finance
data from private school business officers. Currently, national school
level finance data are not available from any source. The public school
component will satisfy the mandate from Congress for the development of
school-level expenditure data collection. School-level expenditure data
would allow for the comparison of per pupil expenditures, instructional
and instructional support expenditures, and some program expenditures
across school types, sizes, regions, and grade levels. Comparisons of
the resource allocation and private schools could also be made.
