SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 (c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 3506 (c)(2)(A) requires that
the Director of OMB provide interested Federal agencies and the public
an early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. The
Office of Management and Budget (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 Director of the Information Resources Group, publishes
this notice containing proposed information collection requests at the
beginning of the Departmental review of the information collection.
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. ED invites public comment at the
address specified above. Copies of the requests are available from
Patrick J. Sherrill at the address specified above.
The Department of Education is especially interested in public
comment addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the Department, (2) will this
information be processed and used in a timely manner, (3) is the
estimate of burden accurate, (4) how might the Department enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected, and
(5) how might the Department minimize the burden of this collection on
the respondents, including through the use of information technology.
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.
