SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act

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 IC Clearance Official, Regulatory
Information Management Services, Office of Management, 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

reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of the collection; (4)
Description of the need for, and proposed use of, the information; (5)

Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites public comment.

Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education Reading First program
has no formal mechanism for grantees to report on specific uses of
grant funds. The proposed surveys will collect data on the use and
allocation of Reading First grants from current SEA grantees and their
LEA subgrantees. Collecting such information will help satisfy the
informational needs of key stakeholders, and inform future grant-making
efforts.
