SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act

and Budget (OMB) provide interested Federal agencies and the public 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 Deputy Chief Information Officer, 
Office of the Chief Information Officer, publishes this notice 
containing proposed information collection requests prior to submission 
of these requests to OMB. Each proposed information collection, grouped 
by office, contains the following: (1) Type of review requested, e.g., 
new, revision, extension, existing or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) 
Summary of the collection; (4) Description of the need for, and 
proposed use of, the information; (5) Respondents and frequency of 
collection; and (6) Reporting and/or Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites 
public comment at the address specified above. Copies of the requests 
are available from Patrick J. Sherrill at the address specified above.

    Type of Review: New
    Title: Research on Charter Schools and Students with Disabilities
    Frequency: One-time
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; State, local or Tribal 
Gov't, SEAs or LEAs
    Reporting Burden and Recordkeeping:
    Responses: 832.
    Burden Hours: 1,568.
    Abstract: The success to date of the charter schools movement has 
resulted from the opportunities the schools provide for site-based 
management free of many regulations, and for instructional and other 
innovations, parent choice, specialized services to specific 
populations, and public accountability. This data collection will allow 
the Department of Education to assemble information on the reasons 
parents are enrolling students with disabilities in charter schools, 
the services provided by the schools, the schools' outcome goals, the 
student outcome measures the schools employ, and the students' success 
in the schools. Subjects will include educators, parents, and students.
