    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 Deputy Chief Information Officer, Office 
    of the Chief Information Officer, publishes this 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.

        Abstract: The Blue Ribbon Schools award is a national school 
    improvement strategy with a threefold purpose: (1) to identify and give 
    public recognition to outstanding public and private schools across the 
    nation; (2) to make available a comprehensive framework of key criteria 
    for school effectiveness that can serve as a basis for participatory 
    self-assessment and planning in schools; (3) to facilitate 
    communication and sharing of best practices within and among schools 
    based on a common understanding of criteria related to success. The 
    information collected will be used to determine by peer review which 
    schools receive the award and information on their exemplary practices 
    and policies will be made available to other schools.
