that the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) provide interested

Federal agencies and the public an early

opportunity to comment on information

Officer, publishes that notice containing

proposed information collection

information collection, grouped by

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
