[Public Notice 3333]

30-Day Notice of Information Collection: Irish Peace Process 
Cultural and Training Program

AGENCY:  Department of State.
SUMMARY: The Department of State has submitted the following 
information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995. Comments should be submitted to OMB within 30 days of the 
publication of this notice.
    The following summarizes the information collection proposal 
submitted to OMB:
    Type of Request: New Collection.
    Originating Office: EUR.
    Title of Information Collection: Irish Peace Process Cultural and 
Training Program (``IPPCTP'').
    Frequency: 1.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Respondents: Entities wishing to provide employment.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 4200.
    Average Hours Per Response: (a) Prospective Employers: up to 2 
hours in providing employer background information and up to 1 hour in 
reporting on participants' work experience (for each participant hired 
by an employer.) (b)
    Participants: up to 2 hours in providing background/resume 
information, a photograph, and tracking information. Where 
participation originates with an employer nomination, the increase of 
time required of an employer in providing employee-related information 
will be offset by a corresponding reduction in the time otherwise 
required of employees in providing the same information.
    Total Estimated Burden: 12,400 hours.
    Public comments are being solicited to permit the agency to:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility.
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the collection, including the validity of the methodology and 
assumptions used.
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected.
     Minimize the reporting burden on those who are to respond, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of technology.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Copies of the proposed information 
collection and supporting documents may be obtained from the Officer 
for Ireland and Northern Ireland Affairs, Bureau of European Affairs 
(EUR/UBI), Room 4513, U.S. Department of State, Washington, DC 20520,
