for review and approval, and to publish a notice in the Federal

Information Agency (USIA) under the terms and conditions of the Mutual 
Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, Public Law 87-256. USIA 
is requesting approval for a revision and three-year extension of an

31, 1995. Estimated burden hours per response is thirty hours. 
Respondents will be required to respond only one time.

statement, and other documents that will be submitted to OMB for 
approval may be obtained from the USIA Clearance Officer. Comments 
should be submitted to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs 
of OMB, Attention: Desk Officer for USIA, and also to the USIA 
Clearance Officer.
