SUMMARY: The Acting Director, Information Collection Clearance 

Division, Regulatory Information Management Services, Office of 

Management, 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 June 

15, 2010.



ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attention: Education Desk Officer,

Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503, be faxed to (202) 395-

[email protected].



SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) 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 Acting Director, 

Information Collection Clearance Division, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of Management, 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.

    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 

respondents, including through the use of information technology.

Office of Postsecondary Education



    Type of Review: Reinstatement.

    Title: Application for Grants under the Training Program for 

Federal TRIO Programs.

    Abstract: This application is needed to conduct a national 

competition for new grant awards under the Training Program for Federal 

TRIO Programs for Fiscal Year 2010. The Training Program for Federal 

TRIO programs is mandated by statute to provide training for leadership 

personnel and staff emoloyed in, participating in, or preparing for 

employment in Federal TRIO Program projects designed to indentify 

individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, prepare them for a program 

of postsecondary education, and provide special services for such 

students pursuing programs of postsecondary education.

    Additional Information: Without the granting of the emergency 

clearance, the Department will miss a statutory deadline and harm to 

the public would be caused due to lack of training needed to operate 

Federal TRIO Program's grants. All staff employed by Federal TRIO 

Programs' grants provide support and esnure high school completion, 

college entrance and competion among first generation and low income 

students and individuals with disabilities. Without funding these 

activities would go unsupported by training.

    Frequency: Annually.

    Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions; State, Local, or 

Tribal Gov't, SEAs or LEAs.

    Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:



Responses: 60

Burden Hours: 2,040
