Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests
AGENCY: Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice of proposed information collection requests.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Acting Director, Regulatory Information Management Services, Office of the Chief Information Officer, invites comments on the proposed information collection requests as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: An emergency review has been requested in accordance with the Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 3507 (j)), since public harm is reasonably likely to result if normal clearance procedures are followed. Approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has been requested by August 24, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Written comments regarding the emergency review should be addressed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attention: Rachel Potter, Desk Officer, Department of Education, Office of Management and Budget; 725 17th Street, NW., Room 10222, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503 or faxed to (202) 395-6974.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires
that the Director of OMB provide interested Federal agencies and the public
an early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. The Office
of Management and Budget (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 Director, Regulatory Information
Management Services, Office of the Chief
Information Officer, publishes this notice containing proposed information collection
requests at the beginning of the Departmental review of the information collection.
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. ED 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 respondents,
including through the use of information technology.
