DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests.

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

SUMMARY: The Director, Information Resources Group, 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 February 22, 1995.

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, 
D.C. 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 3, Washington, DC 20202-4651.

[[Page 3631]] 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 Services (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 Group, 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: January 11, 1995.
Gloria Parker,
Director, Information Resources Group.

Office of Postsecondary Education

Type of Review: Expedited
Title: Educational Research and Development Center Program; and Jacob 
K. Javits Gifted and Talented Education Program
Frequency: Annually
Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions; State, Local or Tribal 
Governments
Reporting Burden:
    Responses: 52
    Burden Hours: 20,800

Abstract: This collection of information is necessary in order to allow 
institutions of higher education and other eligible parties to present 
proposals for awards for research and development centers in gifted and 
talented education and other mission areas. The information is to be 
used to determine which applicants propose the most promising research 
and development activities.
Additional Information: An expedited review is being requested for 
February 22, 1994. The request for expedited review of this package is 
based on the program's interest in making a center award for a center 
in gifted and talented education research within fiscal year 1995. Such 
an award is specifically called for by the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and 
Talented Education Act of 1994. This activity has twice been subject to 
various delays that have already occurred. An expedited review will 
give the program office 15 days to review public comment, determine 
whether any changes are required, and go forward with the grant 
competition without any delay.
