Collection Requests 

AGENCY: Department of Education. 

SUMMARY: The Acting Director,

proposed information collection 

requests as required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before April 30, 

2010. 

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 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.

Abstract: This OMB package requests 

clearance for data collection 

instruments to be used in a four-year 

evaluation of Lessons in Character (LIC) 

program. This study is based on an 

experimental design that utilizes the 

random assignment. LIC is an English 

Language Arts (ELA)-based character 

education curriculum that is expected to 

have positive impacts on student 

academic performance, attendance, 

school motivation, and endorsement of 

universal values consistent with 

character education. The evaluation will 

be conducted by REL West, one of the 

National Regional Education 

Laboratories administered by the 

Institute of Education Sciences of the 

U.S. Department of Education. 

Evaluation measures include student 

archived data (e.g., state mandated 

standardized test scores); follow-up 

surveys for students; teacher and parent 

rating/observation on various student 

aspects (e.g., student social skills); 

baseline and follow-up surveys for 

teachers; and teacher/administrator 

interviews. Baseline data collection will 

take place in 2007; follow-up data 

collection will take place in 2008, 2009, 

and 2010.
