Proposed Information Collection Requests

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice of proposed information collection requests.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Director, Information Resources Management Service, 
invites comments on proposed information collection requests as 
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980.

DATES: An emergency review has been requested in accordance with the 
Act, since allowing for the normal review period would adversely affect 
the public interest. Approval from the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) has been requested by February 15, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to the Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attention: Dan Chenok, Desk 
Officer, Department of Education, Office of Management and Budget, 726 
Jackson Place, NW., room 3208, New Executive Office Building, 
Washington, DC 20503. Requests for copies of the proposed information 
collection request should be addressed to Cary Green, Department of 
Education, 7th & D Streets, SW., room 4682, Regional Office Building 3, 
Washington, DC 20202.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Cary Green, (202) 401-3200. Individuals who use a telecommunications 
device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay 
Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern 
time, Monday through Friday.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3517 of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1980 (44 U.S.C. chapter 3517) requires that the Director of OMB 
provide interested Federal agencies and persons 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 Director, Information Resources Management Service, 
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 
Recordkeeping burden. Because an expedited review is requested, a 
description of the information to be collected is also included as an 
attachment to this notice.

    Dated: February 14, 1994.
Cary Green,
Director, Information Resources Management Service.

Type of Review: Emergency
Title: Notice of Standards for Participation and Solicitation of 
Applications
Frequency: Annually
Affected Public: Non-profit institutions
Reporting Burden:
    Response: 3,000
    Burden Hours: 600
Recordkeeping Burden:
    Recordkeepers: 0
    Burden Hours: 0
Abstract: ED is requesting data from institutions of higher 0education 
which are interested in participating in the District Loan Program. ED 
will review this data and select institutions to participate in the 
second year of the program. If ED does not collect this data, the 
Secretary will not be able to satisfy the requirements of the law.
Additional Information: ED is requesting an emergency review and 
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This is being 
requested because ED expects an increase from 5 percent of new student 
loan volume in the first year of the program to 40 percent in the 
second year. That means the number of schools participating in the 
program in the second year is likely to increase from 104 to over 
2,000. In order to determine each applicant's eligibility and evaluate 
its administrative capability, the Secretary must research several 
different types of records. The Secretary estimates that up to 75 days 
will be needed to complete the review of the expected volume of 
applications and make selection decisions. ED has requested an OMB 
approval by February 15, 1994.
