DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests
AGENCY: Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice of proposed information collection requests.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Director, Information Resources Group, invites comments on
proposed information collection requests as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1980.
DATES: An expedited 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 February 13, 1995.
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, 725
17th Street NW., Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington,
DC 20503. [[Page 6704]] Requests for copies of the proposed information
collection request should be addressed to Patrick J. Sherrill,
Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue 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 or Federal law, or substantially
interfere with any agency's ability to perform its statutory
obligations.
The Director, Information Resources Group, 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: January 30, 1995.

Abstract: The National Diffusion Network supports, under grants,
dissemination of exemplary programs. The Department will use the
information to make grant awards.
Additional Information: Clearance for this information collection is
requested for February 13, 1995. As part of the ``reinventing
government'' initiative, and in light of comments from the public, the
Department is determined to allow the applicants as much time as
possible to respond. An expedited review is requested in order to
implement the program before the start of the new year.

Type of Review: Expedited
Title: Annual Report of Children in Institutions for Neglected or
Delinquent Children, Adult Correctional Institutions, and Community Day
Programs
Frequency: Annually
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Governments
Reporting Burden:
Responses: 52
Burden Hours: 2,000
Recordkeeping Burden:
Recordkeepers: 0
Burden Hours: 0
Abstract: An annual survey is conducted to collect data on (1) the
number of children enrolled in educational programs of State-operated
institutions for neglected or delinquent children (N or D), community
day programs for N or D children, and adult correctional institutions
and (2) the October caseload of N or D children in local institutions.
Additional Information: Clearance for this information collection is
requested for February 13, 1995. ED must make grant awards to the
States based on these allocations by July 1 because the Cash Management
Information Act makes ED liable for interest incurred by States and
localities for program expenses if Federal funds are not made available
on that date. In order to meet that deadline, we must send the revised
ED Form 4376 to the States by March 1 to collect the data needed to
determine State grant awards before July 1.
