information will have practical utility; (2) Evaluate the accuracy of 
the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
to be collected; and (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of 
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

    Type of Review: Revision.
    Title of Collection: Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative 
Services (OSERS) Peer Review Data Form.
    OMB Control Number: 1820-0583.
    Agency Form Number(s): N/A.
    Frequency of Responses: On Occasion; Annually.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,875.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 470.
    Abstract: Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services 
(OSERS) Peer Reviewer Data Form is used to support the peer review 
process panel assignments and to update individual peer reviewer 
personal information in the OSERS Peer Reviewer System database. This 
information is requested when an individual is asked to serve as a peer 
reviewer and/or updated biannually by persons who previously served as 
peer reviewers. The information is used by OSERS staff and the peer 
review contractor to identify potential reviewers who would be 
appropriate to review specific types of grant applications for funding; 
provide background information on each potential reviewer; and provide 
information on any reasonable accommodations that might be required by 
the individual. The changes to the data form include adding two check 
boxes that will allow first-time respondents and repeat reviewers to 
complete the entire form or simply update contact information. This 
alleviates the need for a separate form, currently in use, to update 
reviewer contact information. Also, to promote electronic submission, 
all the fields were made ``fillable'' through the use of text or check 
boxes.
    Copies of the information collection submission for OMB review may 
be accessed from the RegInfo.gov Web site at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain or from the Department's Web site at http://edicsweb.ed.gov, by selecting the ``Browse Pending Collections'' link 
and by clicking on link number 4550. When you access the information 
collection, click on ``Download Attachments '' to view. Written 
requests for information should be addressed to U.S. Department of 
Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., LBJ, Washington, DC 20202-4537. 
Requests may also be electronically mailed to the Internet address 
[email protected] or faxed to 202-401-0920. Please specify the 
complete title of the information collection and OMB Control Number 
when making your request.
