DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests
AGENCY: Department of Education.
[[Page 60643]]
SUMMARY: The Acting Leader, Regulatory 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
November 25, 2002.
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, Regulatory 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: September 20, 2002.

Federal Student Aid
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Title: Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act (EADA) (JS) *.
Frequency: Annually.
Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions (primary).
Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:
Responses: 1800.
Burden Hours: 10800.
Abstract: The EADA amended the Higher Education Act of 1965, as
amended (HEA), to require coeducational institutions of higher
education that participate in any program under Title IV of the HEA and
have an intercollegiate athletic program, annually to make available
upon request a report on institutional financing and student and staff
participation in men's and women's intercollegiate athletics. The
Higher Education Amendments of 1998 amended the EADA to require
additional disclosures, to require that an institution submit its
report to the Department of Education, and to require the Department to
report to Congress on gender equity in intercollegiate athletics and to
make its report and institutions' EADA reports publicly available.
