DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

 

Proposed Information Collection Request

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice of proposed information collection request.

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

SUMMARY: The Acting Director, Information Resources Management Service, 
invites comments on the proposed information collection request 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 by the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) has been requested by October 19, 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 Patrick J. Sherrill, 
Department of Education, 7th & D Streets SW., Room 5624, Regional 
Office Building 3, Washington, DC 20202-4651.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patrick J. Sherrill (202) 708-9915. 
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 of Federal law, or substantially 
interfere with any agency's ability to perform its statutory 
obligations. The Acting Director, Office of Information Resources 
Management, publishes this notice with attached proposed information 
collection requests prior to submission to OMB. For each proposed 
information collection request, grouped by office, this notice contains 
the following information: (1) Type of review requested, e.g., new, 
revision, extension, existing, or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) 
Frequency of collection; (4) The affected public; (5) Reporting and/or 
Recordkeeping burden; and (6) Abstract. Because an emergency review is 
requested, the additional information to be requested in this 
collection is included in the section on ``Additional Information'' in 
this notice.

    Dated: October 4, 1994.

Acting Director, Information Resources Management Service.

Office of Postsecondary Education
Type of Review: EMERGENCY
Title: Application for Designation as an Eligible Institution Under 
Title III
Abstract: Institutions of Higher Education will submit this form in 
order to be designated as eligible to compete for grants under the 
Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, Title III, Parts A and C.
Additional Information: The U.S. Department of Education has requested 
an emergency review and approval from the Office of Management and 
Budget. The Department's requested approval date is October 19, 1994. 
If the deadline date for transmittal of applications for Title III 
eligibility designation is delayed, the Department will not be able to 
notify institutions of their eligibility status before mid-April, 1995. 
Such a delay in the Title III eligibility designation will delay in the 
competitions for new awards under Title III Part A Strengthening 
Institutions Program and Part C Endowment Challenge Grant Program, and 
the newly authorized Hispanic-serving Institutions Program. Ultimately, 
further delay in the processing of this collection submission will 
result in severe time constraints for these FY 1995 new grant awards, 
with the danger that the FY 1995 funds will remain unexpended at the 
end of the fiscal year.
Frequency: Annually
Affected Public: Non-profit institutions
Reporting Burden:
    Responses: 1,200
    Burden Hours: 9,600
Recordkeeping Burden:
    Recordkeepers: 0
    Burden Hours: 0.
