DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Proposed Information Collection Requests
AGENCY: Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice of proposed information collection requests.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Director, Information Resources Management Service,
invites comments on proposed information collection requests 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 from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has been requested by February 15, 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 Cary Green, Department of
Education, 7th & D Streets, SW., room 4682, Regional Office Building 3,
Washington, DC 20202.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Cary Green, (202) 401-3200. 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 or Federal law, or substantially
interfere with any agency's ability to perform its statutory
obligations. The Director, Information Resources Management Service,
publishes this notice with the attached proposed information collection
request prior to submission of this request to OMB. This notice
contains the following information: (1) Type of review requested, e.g.,
expedited; (2) Title; (3) Abstract; (4) Additional Information; (5)
Frequency of collection; (6) Affected public; and (7) Reporting and/or
Recordkeeping burden. Because an expedited review is requested, a
description of the information to be collected is also included as an
attachment to this notice.
Dated: February 14, 1994.

Type of Review: Emergency
Title: Notice of Standards for Participation and Solicitation of
Applications
Frequency: Annually
Affected Public: Non-profit institutions
Reporting Burden:

Abstract: ED is requesting data from institutions of higher 0education
which are interested in participating in the District Loan Program. ED
will review this data and select institutions to participate in the
second year of the program. If ED does not collect this data, the
Secretary will not be able to satisfy the requirements of the law.
Additional Information: ED is requesting an emergency review and
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This is being
requested because ED expects an increase from 5 percent of new student
loan volume in the first year of the program to 40 percent in the
second year. That means the number of schools participating in the
program in the second year is likely to increase from 104 to over
2,000. In order to determine each applicant's eligibility and evaluate
its administrative capability, the Secretary must research several
different types of records. The Secretary estimates that up to 75 days
will be needed to complete the review of the expected volume of
applications and make selection decisions. ED has requested an OMB
approval by February 15, 1994.
