    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 June 
    14, 1996. A regular clearance process is also beginning. Interested 
    persons are invited to submit comments on or before August 19, 1996.

    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 Acting 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.
