SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act

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 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.

Abstract: The information collection plan provides the U.S.
Department of Education with the option of submitting its discretionary
grant information collections through a streamlined Paperwork Reduction
Act clearance process. This streamlined clearance process will begin
when the Department submits the information collection to the OMB and,
at the same time, publishes a 30-day public comment period notice in
the Federal Register. OMB will then have 60 days after the start of the
public comment period to reach a decision on the information
collection.
Requests for copies of the proposed information collection request
may be accessed from http://edicsweb.ed.gov, or should be addressed to
