SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

3506 (c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 3506 (c)(2)(A) requires that the

Director of OMB provide interested

Federal agencies and the public an early

opportunity to comment on information

collection requests. The Office of

Management and Budget (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 Deputy Chief

Information Officer, Office of the Chief

Information Officer, publishes this

notice containing proposed information

collection requests at the beginning of

the Departmental review of the

information collection. 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. ED invites

public comment at the address specified

above. Copies of the requests are

available from Patrick J. Sherrill at the

address specified above.

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.

Type of Review: Reinstatement

Title: Performance Report—Training

Personnel for the Education of

Individuals with Disabilities

Abstract: These Performance Reports

collect information required of grantees

receiving Federal funds under Part D of

the Individuals with Disabilities

Education Act (IDEA), required by P.L.

101–476 and 102–119, through fiscal

year 1997 grants. Training data will be

summarized in the Office of Special

Education and Rehabilitative Services’

(OSERS’’) Annual Report to Congress,

including data on special education and

related services personnel, as well as

parents trained.

Additional Information: Recently, the

U.S. Department of Education’s Office of

the General Counsel rendered a legal

opinion that, because the new law takes

effect beginning Fiscal Year 1998, the

old law governs reporting requirements

for grantees who were funded for Fiscal

Years 1996 and 1997. This being the

case, data reports are still required by

law to be filed with the Department by

the grantees no later than November 30,

1997, for the Fiscal Year 1996 budget

reporting period. In order to accomplish

the mailout to grantees of the data

collection forms and instructions, an

emergency extension is urgently sought

for this package so that the Department

can comply with the law. Approval is

needed to permit the mailout to occur

on October 15. To secure the support

services of the Department’s mailout

contractor, OMB approval needs to be

obtained no later than September 30,

1997.
