AGENCY: Office of Information Management, DOE.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) has submitted one information 
collection package to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
renewal under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
    The package covers collections of information concerning the 
management and administration of DOE's Government-owned/contractor-
operated facilities (GOCO), offsite contractors, grantees, and the 
public. The information is used by Departmental management to exercise 
management oversight as to the implementation of applicable statutory 
and contractual requirements and obligations. The collection of this 
information is critical to ensure that the Government has sufficient 
information to judge the degree to which contractors and grantees meet 
contractual requirements; that public funds are being spent in the 
manner intended, and that fraud, waste, and abuse are immediately 
detected and eliminated. These collections provide information on grant 
applications for state and local assistance for efficient use of 
energy, residential conservation programs, weatherization assistance, 
and energy programs concerning the schools and hospitals grant program.

DATES AND ADDRESSES: Comments regarding the information collection 
package should be submitted to the OMB Desk Officer at the following 
address no later than August 28, 1996, DOE Desk Officer, Office of 
Management and Budget (OIRA), Room 3001, New Executive Office Building,
