submit comments on or before January

Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339

between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern time,

Monday through Friday.

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 Deputy Chief

Information Officer, Office of the Chief

Information Officer, publishes this

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 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.

Educational Progress (NAEP), Writing

Special Study.

Frequency: One Time.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households.

Reporting Burden and Recordkeeping:

Responses: 6,200

Burden Hours: 2,200

Abstract: The 1998 NAEP writing

special study is designed to bolster the

understanding of study NAEP writing

achievement with information on

student’s best writing assignments, and

the writing process. In addition, the

study will collect information about

teachers’ emphasis on writing

curriculum and instructional

approaches. The study will be

conducted with a sample of 6000 (4th

and 8th grade) students and 200

teachers. The study will use a structured

protocol to obtain more detailed and

valid information about classroom

instructional practices than a standard

background questionnaire. Students will

be asked to select three examples of

their best writing and to fill out a brief

questionnaire describing the samples of

writing that they submit.

Title: Targeting and Resource

Allocation Study.

Frequency: One time.

Affected Public: State education

agencies, school districts and schools.

Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour

Burden:

Responses: 6,097

Burden Hours: 6,000

Abstract: This study will examine

targeting and resource allocation in

major federal education programs,

including Title I, Title II (Eisenhower

Professional Development), Title IV

(Safe and Drug-Free Schools and

Communities), Title VI, and Goals 2000.

The study will examine how resources

are allocated among various strategies

for improving student achievement,

how the use of resources varies across

schools and districts (e.g., by school

poverty levels and size of allocation),

and changes in the targeting of funds

since the reauthorization of the

Elementary and Secondary Education

Act (ESEA) in 1994. The study will

examine the extent to which funds are

being used for strategies highlighted in

Goals 2000 and the reauthorized

Elementary and Secondary Education

Act, including professional

development, extended time, parent

involvement, coordinated services, and

schoolwide approaches. The study will

obtain information on the kinds of

expenditures, staff, and activities

typically associated with different

strategies; and how resource allocation

decisions are made. The study will also

examine the amount of federal funds

retained at the state and district levels

for administrative and other purposes,

how those funds are used, and how

much of the funds reach the school

level.
