AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests.

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

SUMMARY: The Deputy Chief Information Officer, Office of the Chief 
Financial and Chief Information Officer, invites comments on the 
proposed information collection requests as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: An emergency review has been requested in accordance with the 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 3507 (j)), since public harm is reasonably 
likely to result if normal clearance procedures are followed. Approval 
by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has been requested by 
April 23, 1999. A regular clearance process is also beginning. 
Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before June 21, 
1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments regarding the emergency review should be 
addressed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Attention: Danny Werfel, Desk Officer: Department of Education, Office 
of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street, NW, Room 10235, 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, SW, Room 
5624, Regional Office Building 3, Washington, D.C. 20202-4651. Written 
comments regarding the regular clearance and requests for copies of the 
proposed information collection requests should be addressed to Patrick 
J. Sherrill, Department of Education, 600 Independence Avenue, SW, Room 
5624, Regional Office Building 3, Washington, D.C. 20202-4651, or

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 3506 (c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 3506 (c)(2)(A)) requires that 
the Director of OMB provide interested Federal agencies and the public 
an early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. The 
Office of Management and Budget (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 Deputy Chief Information Officer, Office of the Chief 
Financial and Chief Information Officer, publishes this notice 
containing proposed information collection requests at the beginning of 
the Departmental review of the information collection. 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. ED invites public comment at the address 
specified

above. Copies of the requests are available from Patrick J. Sherrill at 
the address specified above. The Department of Education is especially 
interested in public comment addressing the following issues: (1) Is 
this collection necessary to the proper functions of the Department, 
(2) will this information be processed and used in a timely manner, (3) 
is the estimate of burden accurate, (4) how might the Department 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected, and (5) how might the Department minimize the burden of this 
collection on the respondents, including through the use of information 
technology.

    Type of Review: New.
    Title: Guidance to SEAs on Procedures for Adjusting ED-Determined 
Title I Allocations to Local Educational Agencies (LEAs).
    Abstract: Guidance for State educational agencies (SEAs) on 
procedures for adjusting ED-determined Title I Basic and Concentration 
Grants allocations to local educational agencies (LEAs) to account for 
newly created LEAs and LEA boundary changes.
    Additional Information: Failure to issue this guidance document 
would mean that SEAs have no guidance from ED on procedures to follow 
in determining final allocations for the more than 800 LEAs not on the 
Census list that are eligible for Title I. SEAs must make final 
allocations for all LEAs and notify school districts of the Title I 
amounts they will receive for school year 1999-2000 in April and May.
    Frequency: Guidance issued on as needed basis.
    Affected Public: State, local or Tribal Government, SEAs or LEAs.
    Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:
      Responses: 52.
      Burden Hours: 2,080.
