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
[[Page 15356]]
with any agency's ability to perform its statutory obligations. The
Acting Leader, Information Management Group, Office of the Chief
Information Officer, publishes that 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.
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.

Abstract: The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES)
collects information on private schools, both religious-affiliated and
independent, every two years in order to maintain a universe frame of
private schools that is of sufficient accuracy and completeness to
serve as a sampling frame for NCES surveys of private schools and to
generate biennial data on the total number of private schools,
teachers, and students. Since 1980, this Elementary/Secondary data
collection has formed the basis for national statistical data on
private schools.
