SUMMARY: The Deputy Chief Information Officer, Office of the Chief

proposed information collection requests as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: An emergency review has been requested in accordance with the
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 3507 (j)), since public harm is reasonably
likely to result if normal clearance procedures are followed. Approval
by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has been requested by
April 23, 1999. A regular clearance process is also beginning.
Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before June 21,
1999.
ADDRESSES: Written comments regarding the emergency review should be
addressed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Attention: Danny Werfel, Desk Officer: Department of Education, Office
of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street, NW, Room 10235, New
Executive Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20503. Requests for copies

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 3506 (c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 3506 (c)(2)(A)) 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 Deputy Chief Information Officer, Office of the Chief
Financial and Chief Information Officer, 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
[[Page 19752]]
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.

Type of Review: New.
Title: Guidance to SEAs on Procedures for Adjusting ED-Determined
Title I Allocations to Local Educational Agencies (LEAs).
Abstract: Guidance for State educational agencies (SEAs) on
procedures for adjusting ED-determined Title I Basic and Concentration
Grants allocations to local educational agencies (LEAs) to account for
newly created LEAs and LEA boundary changes.
Additional Information: Failure to issue this guidance document
would mean that SEAs have no guidance from ED on procedures to follow
in determining final allocations for the more than 800 LEAs not on the
Census list that are eligible for Title I. SEAs must make final
allocations for all LEAs and notify school districts of the Title I
amounts they will receive for school year 1999-2000 in April and May.
Frequency: Guidance issued on as needed basis.
Affected Public: State, local or Tribal Government, SEAs or LEAs.
Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:
Responses: 52.
Burden Hours: 2,080.
