Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attention: Dan Chenok, Desk
Officer, Department of Education, Office of Management and Budget, 725

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 Acting 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

Abstract: This sample survey of approximately 1,000 public school
principals requests data on current procedures used by schools to
collect information on student's race/ethnicity, how schools report
this information for federal purposes, and the extent to which the five
standard federal categories adequately describe the school's current
population. The survey is part of a federal-government-wide review
process being conducted by the Office of Management and budget (OMB).
Information from the survey will be used to evaluate and assess
proposed changes and revisions to the five standard categories
currently used and issued 17 years ago by OMB.
Additional Information: Clearance for this information collection
is requested for March 31, 1995. The survey must be started by April 7,
1995 to allow the eight weeks needed to administer it before the public
school year closes. The survey must be administered this year to remain
within deadlines imposed by the testing program for the Year 2000
Census.
