Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests


AGENCY: Department of Education.


SUMMARY: The Acting Leader, Information Management Group, Office of the 

Chief Information Officer, invites comments on the proposed information 

collection requests as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.


DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before 

August 23, 1999.


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 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.

    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.


    Dated: June 16, 1999.

Information Officer.
