DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests
AGENCY: Department of Education.
SUMMARY: The Leader, Regulatory Information Management Group, Office of
the Chief Information Officer, invites comments on the proposed
information collection requests as required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before
November 9, 2001.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires that the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) provide interested Federal agencies and the public an
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
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
[[Page 47022]]
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. 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
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
the respondents, including through the use of information technology.

institutions; State, Local, or Tribal Gov't, SEAs or LEAs.

Abstract: The evaluation of the PWI Program will provide the
Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) and other federal
officials with information needed to assess the extent to which Program
purposes are being fulfilled. The data obtained will also enable RSA to
identify the impact of recent regulatory changes on the Program and to
determine the ongoing utility of, and need for revisions to, the
Program's compliance indicators and performance indicators under the
Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). Respondents to
information requests will include PWI staff, local Vocational
Rehabilitation agency staff, Business Advisory Council members,
employers of former PWI participants, local workforce investment board
members, and staff of local one-stop job centers.
