DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
 

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 expedited review has been requested in accordance with the 
Act, since allowing for the normal review period would adversely affect 
the public interest. Approval by the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) has been requested by April 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, 725 
17th Street, 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, 400 
Maryland Avenue, SW., room 4682, Regional Office Building 3, 
Washington, DC 20202-4651.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Cary Green, (202) 401-3200.

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: April 4, 1994.
Wallace McPherson,
Acting Director, Information Resources Management Service.

Office of Elementary and Secondary Education

    Type of Review: Expedited.
    Title: Goals 2000: Educate America Act.
    Abstract: This form will provide assistance to State agencies to 
improve the quality of education for all students by supporting a long-
term effort of coherent and coordinated improvements. The Department 
will use the information to ensure that statutory requirements will be 
fulfilled.
    Additional Information: An expedited review is appropriate for the 
Goals 2000 Application Package due to the short timespan between 
Congressional approval and Presidential signature on the legislation 
and the date which funds are available and should be awarded. Final 
approval by Congress of S. 1150 and H.R. 1804 is pending with the bill 
in conference at this time. Funds are available July 1, 1994.
    A technical assistance conference will be held April 19-21, 1994, 
in Washington, DC, for six representatives from each State, 
representing the governor's office and the State educational agency. At 
this time the Department of Education will provide assistance regarding 
the preparation of the application for FY 1994 funds. It is critical 
that an approved application package is available for distribution at 
the beginning of that conference. Thus our target date for approval is 
Friday, April 15, 1994.
    Frequency: One-time.
    Affected Public: State or local governments.
    Reporting Burden: Responses: 57. Burden Hours: 1,140.
    Recordkeeping Burden: Recordkeepers: 0. Burden Hours: 0.
