ACTION: Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests.

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

SUMMARY: The Acting 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. Approved by the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) has been requested by August 1, 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 Patrick J. Sherrill, Department of 
Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW., Room 5624, Regional Office Building

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 Acting 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; (d) 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.
