ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of the Treasury, as part of its continuing 
effort to reduce paperwork burdens, invites the general public and 
other Federal agencies to comment on a proposed information collection, 
as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13 
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). The Office of Financial Education within the 
Department of the Treasury is soliciting comments on a proposed new 
collection of information concerning the Workplace Financial Education 
Honor Roll Program (Honor Roll) application. To keep America 
competitive in the future, it is important to continue to increase the 
levels of financial literacy in the U.S. The purpose of the Honor Roll 
is to recognize employers that provide successful financial education 
programs to their employees. The Honor Roll is intended to spur 
interest in financial education by highlighting successful initiatives 
that show the benefits of financial education through both private 
sector and public sector efforts. The Honor Roll is one of the 
initiatives that the newly created President's Advisory Council on 
Financial Literacy has recommended to the Department of the Treasury.

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before October 27, 
2008 to be assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments to Dubis Correal, Director, 
Office of Financial Education, Department of the Treasury, Room 1328, 
1500 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20220 or 
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
copies of the Honor Roll application should be directed to Dubis
