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

its statutory obligations. The Leader, Regulatory 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.

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

    Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions.
    Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:

    Abstract: The EADA amended the Higher Education Act of 1965, as 
amended (HEA), to require coeducational institutions of higher 
education that participate in any program under Title IV of the HEA and 
have an intercollegiate athletic program, annually to make available 
upon request a report on institutional financing and student and staff 
participation in men's and women's intercollegiate athletics. The 
Higher Education Amendments of 1998 amended the EADA to require 
additional disclosures, to require that an institution submit its 
report to the Department of Education, and to require the Department to 
report to Congress on gender equity in intercollegiate athletics and to 
make its report and institutions' EADA reports publicly available.
