DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Proposed Information Collection Request
AGENCY: Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice of proposed information collection request.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Acting Director, Information Resources Management Service,
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 October 19, 1994.
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 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 of Federal law, or substantially
interfere with any agency's ability to perform its statutory
obligations. The Acting Director, Office of Information Resources
Management, publishes this notice with attached proposed information
collection requests prior to submission to OMB. For each proposed
information collection request, grouped 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: October 4, 1994.

Acting Director, Information Resources Management Service.
Office of Postsecondary Education
Type of Review: EMERGENCY
Title: Application for Designation as an Eligible Institution Under
Title III
Abstract: Institutions of Higher Education will submit this form in
order to be designated as eligible to compete for grants under the
Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, Title III, Parts A and C.
Additional Information: The U.S. Department of Education has requested
an emergency review and approval from the Office of Management and
Budget. The Department's requested approval date is October 19, 1994.
If the deadline date for transmittal of applications for Title III
eligibility designation is delayed, the Department will not be able to
notify institutions of their eligibility status before mid-April, 1995.
Such a delay in the Title III eligibility designation will delay in the
competitions for new awards under Title III Part A Strengthening
Institutions Program and Part C Endowment Challenge Grant Program, and
the newly authorized Hispanic-serving Institutions Program. Ultimately,
further delay in the processing of this collection submission will
result in severe time constraints for these FY 1995 new grant awards,
with the danger that the FY 1995 funds will remain unexpended at the
end of the fiscal year.
Frequency: Annually
Affected Public: Non-profit institutions
Reporting Burden:
Responses: 1,200
Burden Hours: 9,600
Recordkeeping Burden:
Recordkeepers: 0
Burden Hours: 0.
