Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests
AGENCY: Department of Education.
SUMMARY: The Acting Leader, Regulatory 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
July 14, 2003.
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 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
[[Page 25868]]
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.
