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

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 Leader, Information
Management Case Services Team, Regulatory Information Management
Services, Office of the Chief Information Officer, 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.

Title: Alcohol, Other Drug, and Violence Prevention Survey of
American College Campuses.
Abstract: This survey's purpose is to determine the state of
alcohol and other drug abuse and violence prevention in higher
education and assess current and emerging needs of institutions of
higher education and their surrounding communities. A Notice of
Proposed Information Collection Requests, for a 60-day comment period,
was published in the Federal Register on August 12, 2005.
Additional Information: ED is requesting emergency processing for
the Alcohol, Other Drug, and Violence Prevention Survey of American
College Campuses. There is a risk for public harm if this collection is
not approved by October 13, 2005. There would be a loss of substantial
time (in effect, the entire fall semester) during which the Center can
compile and analyze valuable information related to the needs of the
field in preventing drug abuse and violent behavior among college
students. If the survey cannot be administered with OMB's approval by
the requested time, the next window of opportunity for administering
the survey is spring 2006, which negatively affects planning prevention
services and providing critical assessment data to the field. The
public benefits from the Center planning services for potential
implementation based on an analysis of data in November and December
2005. A delay in the survey administration means that such planning
would not occur until May and June 2006, when two semesters have
lapsed.
Frequency: On occasion.
Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions (primary).
Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:
Responses: 1,050.
Burden Hours: 871.
