# SUMMARY:

The IC Clearance Official, 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 July 6, 2007. 

# 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 IC Clearance Official, 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                           ( print page 25756)                        through the use of information technology.

*Abstract:*                     The Department of Education's Institute for Education Sciences has commissioned this evaluation as a response to the current need for experimental research about the impacts of adolescent literacy programs on reading and academic outcomes of struggling readers. This study focuses on literacy across the curriculum intervention that emphasizes literacy instruction throughout a high school student's day. High school students from diverse types of school districts across at least two of the states in the Midwest region will be tested in literacy and other student achievement data will be collected from school records. Classroom instruction will be observed throughout the course of the intervention. District and building administrators will be interviewed about the intervention and the need for large-scale district and school reform in literacy instruction.
