activities affecting an installation’s 

natural resources. INRMPs are required 

for all DoD installations with significant 

natural resources, pursuant to the Sikes 

Act Improvement Act. 

International Shorebird Survey—a 

monitoring program started in 1974 to 

survey shorebirds (sandpipers, plovers,

and patterns in the number of young 

produced and the survivorship of adults 

and young (http://www.birdpop.org/

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA)—a Federal statute that requires 

Federal agencies to prepare a detailed 

analysis of the environmental impacts of 

a proposed action and alternatives, and 

to include public involvement in the 

decision making process for major 

Federal actions significantly affecting 

the quality of the human environment 

42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.

Mexico and the United States, as well as 

most landbird, shorebird, waterbird, and 

waterfowl conservation initiatives 

(http://www.nabci-us.org).

Federal and State government agencies, 

non-governmental organizations, and 

private interests focusing on the 

conservation of waterbirds, primarily 

including marshbirds and inland, 

coastal, and pelagic colonial waterbirds

throughout the lands and waters of 

North America, Central America, and 

the Caribbean. 

North American Waterfowl 

Management Plan—a partnership of 

Federal and State agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and private

partnership program of more than 300 

partners including Federal and State

organizations, conservation groups, 

foundations, universities and industry 

focusing on the conservation of 

landbirds. DoD was an original 

signatory to the PIF Federal Agencies’

MOA. (http://www.partnersinflight.org 

and http://www.dodpif.org). 

Species of Concern—refers to those 

species listed in the periodic report 

Birds of Conservation Concern; priority

AGENCY: Department of Education. 

SUMMARY: The Acting Leader, 

Information Policy and Standards Team, 

Regulatory Information Management 

Services, Office of Management, invites 

comments on the proposed information 

collection requests as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before October 

30, 2006. 

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 

Leader, Information Policy and 

Standards Team, 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.
