SUMMARY: The Acting Director, Information Resources Management Service,

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

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.

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
