DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

Proposed Information Collection Request

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Information Collection Request.

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

SUMMARY: The Director, Information Resources Group, 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 June 23, 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, 726 
Jackson Place, 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, 7th & D Streets, S.W., Room 5624, Regional 
Office Building 3, Washington, D.C. 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 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 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: June 9, 1995.

Director, Information Resources Group.

Type of Review: Emergency
Title: Notice inviting applications for new awards for fiscal year FY 
1995 academic excellence awards
Abstract: The Department needs and uses this information to make 
grants. The respondents are State and local educational agencies, 
institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations. The 
respondents are required to provide this information in applying for 
grants.
Additional Information: The Department requests a ninety-day emergency 
approval of the application package to enable grants to be awarded with 
available FY 1995 funds before the end of the fiscal year. The lateness 
of this request is due to the fact that a proposed rescission of FY 
1995 funds that would have eliminated funds for new grants under the 
Academic Excellence Awards program was not modified by Congress until 
late May. OMB approval of the application package is needed by June 23 
to enable the Department to publish the notice containing the 
application in the Federal Register by June 30. The deadline date for 
transmittal of applications must be no later than July 31 to enable the 
Department to evaluate them and make grant awards be the end of the 
fiscal year.
Frequency: One Time
Affected Public: Not for Profit Institutions & State, Local or Tribal 
government
Reporting Burden:
    Responses: 50
    Burden Hours: 5,000
Recordkeeping Burden: 
    Recordkeepers: 0
