SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) 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.
