that the Office of Management and

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

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The Acting 

Director, Information Collection 

Clearance Division, 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 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.

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

this program is to stimulate 

technological innovation in the private 

sector, strengthen the role of small 

business in meeting Federal research or 

research and development (R/R&D) 

needs, increase the commercial 

application of the U.S. Department of 

Education (Department) supported 

research results, and improve the return 

on investment from federally funded 

research for economic and social 

benefits to the Nation. 

Note: This program is in concert with 

NIDRR’s Final Long-Range Plan for FY 2005– 

2009 (Plan). 

The Plan, which was published in the 

Federal Register on February 15, 2006 

(71 FR 8166), can be accessed on the 

Internet at the following site: http:// 

www.ed.gov/about/offices/lists/osers/ 

nidrr/policy.html. 

Through the implementation of the 

Plan, NIDRR seeks to: (1) Improve the 

quality and utility of disability and 

rehabilitation research; (2) foster an 

exchange of expertise, information, and 

training to facilitate the advancement of 

knowledge and understanding of the 

unique needs of individuals with 

disabilities from traditionally 

underserved populations; (3) determine 

best strategies and programs to improve 

rehabilitation outcomes for individuals 

with disabilities from underserved 

populations; (4) identify research gaps; 

(5) identify mechanisms of integrating 

research and practice; and (6) 

disseminate findings. 

NIDRR Supports ManufacturingRelated Innovation (Executive Order 

13329): 

Executive Order 13329 states that 

continued technological innovation is 

critical to a strong manufacturing sector 

in the United States economy and 

ensures that Federal agencies assist the 

private sector in its manufacturing 

innovation efforts. The Department’s 

SBIR program encourages innovative 

research and development (R&D) 

projects that are manufacturing-related, 

as defined by Executive Order 13329. 

Manufacturing-related R&D 

encompasses improvements in existing 

methods or processes, or wholly new 

processes, machines, or systems. The 

projects supported under the 

Department’s SBIR program encompass 

a range of manufacturing-related R&D, 

including projects leading to the 

manufacture of such items as artificial 

intelligence or information technology 

devices, software, and systems. For
