ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National 

and Community Service (hereinafter the 

‘‘Corporation’’), as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork and 

respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to 

provide the general public and federal 

agencies with an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 

U.S.C. Sec. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program 

helps to ensure that requested data can 

be provided in the desired format, 

reporting burden (time and financial 

resources) is minimized, collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

the impact of collection requirement on 

respondents can be properly assessed. 

Currently, the Corporation is 

soliciting comments concerning its 

proposed renewal of its Forbearance 

Request for National Service Form. This 

form is the official document 

AmeriCorps members and institutions 

use to collect information necessary for 

processing forbearance requests, as 

detailed in 42 U.S.C. 12602 through 

12604. Copies of the information 

collection request can be obtained by 

contacting the office listed in the 

addresses section of this notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the individual and office 

listed in the ADDRESSES section by July 

5, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Corporation is particularly 

interested in comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Corporation, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are expected to respond, including the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology 

(e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses). 

Background 

This form or its electronic equivalent 

is used by AmeriCorps members to 

request a forbearance based on national 

service, by schools and lenders to verify 

eligibility for the forbearance, and by 

both parties to verify certain legal 

requirements. 

Current Action 

The Corporation seeks to renew and 

revise the current information 

collection. Except for minor edits, the 

Forbearance Request Form is 

unchanged. 

The information collection will be 

used in the same manner as the existing 

application. The Corporation also seeks 

to continue using the current 

application until the revised application 

is approved by OMB. The current 

application is due to expire on 9/30/ 

2011.

Type of Review: Extension. 

Title of Collection: Conversion Magnet 

Schools Evaluation. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0832. 

Agency Form Number(s): N/A. 

Frequency of Responses: On 

Occasion. 

Affected Public: Not-for-profit 

institutions. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 20. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden 

Hours: 280. 

Abstract: The Conversion Magnet 

Schools Evaluation is being conducted 

to determine if efforts to turn around 

low-performing schools through 

converting to a Magnet Schools 

Assistance Program supported magnet 

school are associated with improved 

student achievement and the reduction 

in minority group isolation. The 

Institute of Education Sciences, in 

collaboration with the Office of 

Innovation and Improvement, initiated 

the study due to the popularity and 

persistence of magnet programs and the 

inconclusive research on the 

relationship of these programs to 

important student outcomes. The study 

will use quasi-experimental designs to 

explore the relationship between 

magnet programs and student 

achievement both for ‘‘resident’’ 

students who attend magnet schools as 

their neighborhood schools and, if 

possible, for non-resident students. Data 

collection includes student records data, 

principal surveys, and project director 

interviews. The U.S. Department of 

Education has commissioned American 

Institutes for Research to conduct this 

study. 

An OMB clearance request that (1) 

described the study design and full data 

collection activities and (2) requested 

approval for the burden associated with 

the first three years of data collection 

was approved in 2007 (OMB Number 

1850–0832 approval 7/13/07; expiration 

7/31/10). In 2010, we requested 

clearance for the burden associated with 

the fourth and fifth year of data 

collection necessary for the rigorous 

comparative interrupted time series 

design including student records data 

collection for the 2009–2010 school year 

(OMB Number 1850–0832 approval 6/ 

14/10; expiration 6/30/13). We are now 

requesting clearance for the burden 

associated with one additional round of 

student records data collection (student 

records data from the 2010–2011 school 

year) from participating districts due to 

the later than expected implementation 

of the magnet programs in the 2007 

grantee cohort. 

Copies of the information collection 

submission for OMB review may be 

accessed from the RegInfo.gov Web site 

at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain or from the Department’s Web 

site at http://edicsweb.ed.gov, by
