SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Act of 1995

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 Leader, Regulatory Information 
Management Group, Office of the Chief Information Officer, publishes 
that 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 
reinstatment; (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. 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 esstimate of burden accurate; (4) how might the 
Department enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the inforamtion 
to be collected; and (5) how might the Department minimize the burden 
of this collection on the respondents, including t hrough the use of
