11532 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 51 / Wednesday, March 18, 2009 / Notices 

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 requirements on 

respondents can be properly assessed. 

Individuals who use a 

telecommunications device for the deaf 

(TTY–TDD) may call (202) 565–2799 

between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. eastern 

time, Monday through Friday. 

Currently, the Corporation is 

soliciting comments concerning its 

proposed renewal of its Disaster 

Response Database (DRD). The DRD is a 

data collection tool that allows the 

Corporation to collect information from 

its programs and grantees on disaster 

response activities across the country. 

This tool serves as a central repository 

of information on Corporation disaster 

response activities for reporting to the 

public. 

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 May 

18, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,

collection activity, by any of the

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 

The Corporation for National and 

Community Service regularly engages 

its national service programs and 

grantees to respond to disasters as a part 

of its mandate to promote community 

service and meet community needs. The 

great number of national service 

participants and variety of support 

offered necessitate a centralized 

reporting tool to track and measure 

resources dedicated to supporting 

communities recovering from disaster. 

Current Action: The Corporation seeks 

to renew the data collection: CNCS 

Disaster Response Database (OMB 

control number 3015–0114) scheduled 

to expire on June 30th, 2009. The 

database is a Web-based system that 

permits programs and grantees to report 

contributions to disaster responses. The 

system will be updated to include a 

previously approved quantifiable 

accomplishment reporting module. 

The current data collection can be 

found at http://

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Notice of Proposed Information 

Collection Requests 

AGENCY: Department of Education. 

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Information 

Collection Requests. 

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: An emergency review has been 

requested in accordance with the Act 

(44 U.S.C. Chapter 3507(j)), since public 

harm is reasonably likely to result if 

normal clearance procedures are 

followed. Approval by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) has 

been requested by March 23, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments 

regarding the emergency review should 

be addressed to the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Attention: Bridget Dooling, Desk Officer, 

Department of Education, Office of 

Management and Budget; 725 17th 

Street, NW., Room 10222, New 

Executive Office Building, Washington, 

DC 20503 or faxed to (202) 395–6974. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) 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 IC Clearance Official, 

Regulatory Information Management 

Services, Office of Management, 

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. 

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 respondents, including 

through the use of information 

technology.

Title: State Fiscal Stabilization Fund 

Grant Application. 

Abstract: On February 17, 2009, the 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act of 2009 (ARRA) became law. A 

major part of ARRA is the new State 

Fiscal Stabilization Fund (Stabilization) 

program. The program provides 

$53,600,000,000 to States to keep 

teachers in the classroom, prevent the 

cutting of valuable education programs, 

and help mitigate college tuition 

increases. Additionally, the 

Stabilization program will provide 

resources that States and districts may 

use to implement important education 

reforms, such as launching strategies 

that address inequities in the 

distribution of highly qualified teachers, 

building robust data systems that allow 

districts to better track student 

achievement, raising standards and 

strengthening student assessments, and 

turning around failing schools. We are 

requesting approval of the Stabilization 

program grant application so that State 

governors may apply for the first portion 

of these funds. 

Additional Information: In order to 

provide immediate assistance to help 

alleviate the substantial budget 

shortfalls that States are facing, the 

Department is committed to providing 

67 percent of each State’s Stabilization 

allocation within a very short 

timeframe, necessitating emergency 

clearance of the Stabilization program 

application. The requested approval 

date for OMB approval is March 23. 

This formula grant program has two 

distinct portions—the Education Fund 

and the Government Services Fund. 

Specifically, the Department intends to 

award each State with 67 percent of the 

total amount that it is to receive under 

both the Education Fund and the 

Government Services Fund within two 

weeks of our receipt of a complete 

application. 

Frequency: One time. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; State, Local or Tribal Gov’t. 

Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour 

Burden: 

Responses: 52. 

Burden Hours: 894.
