Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests
AGENCY: Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice of proposed information collection requests.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Director, Information Resources Group, invites comments on
proposed information collection requests as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1980.
DATES: An expedited review has been requested in accordance with the
Act, since allowing for the normal review period would adversely affect
the public interest. Approval by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has been requested by July 7, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attention: Dan Chenok, Desk
Officer, Department of Education, Office of Management and Budget, 725
17th Street NW., Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington,
DC 20503. Requests for copies of the proposed information collection
request should be addressed to Patrick J. Sherrill, Department of
Education, 600 Independence Avenue, SW., Room 5624, Regional Office
Building 3, Washington, DC 20202-4651.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Patrick J. Sherrill, (202) 708-9915. 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 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
[[Page 34975]]
information collection, violate State or Federal law, or substantially
interfere with any agency's ability to perform its statutory
obligations.
The 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 burden.
Because an expedited review has been requested, a description of the
information to be collected is also included as an attachment to this
section.
Dated: June 29, 1995.

Abstract: The Workbook tasks will be completed by institutions who
participate in the Quality Assurance Program. The institutions will
establish quality assurance programs, monitor their own variance rates,
and design and implement quality improvements to reduce those variance
rates. These respondents will receive training in July 1995 and will be
expected to begin conducting these activities immediately following
training. Copies of these forms for review and comment can be obtained
by calling the Performance and Accountability Improvement Staff at
(202) 260-4788.
Additional Information: Clearance for this information collection
is requested by July 7, 1995. An expedited review is requested in order
to meet the schedule for the training in July 1995. Without the
expedited review, the Department would not be able to provide the
needed services and assistance to our customers who participate in the
Quality Assurance Program.
