Management, publishes that notice

of these requests to OMB. Each 

proposed information collection,

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

information; (5) Respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6) 

Reporting and/or Recordkeeping

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

(GPRA).

Abstract: The data collection under 

this request is governed by Sections 

304.23–304.30 of the June 5, 2006, 

regulations that implement Section 

662(h) of the IDEA Amendments of 

2004, which require that individuals 

who receive a scholarship through the 

Personnel Development Program funded 

under the Act subsequently provide 

special education and related services to 

children with disabilities for a period of 

two years for every year for which 

assistance was received. Scholarship 

recipients who do not satisfy the 

requirements of the regulations must 

repay all or part of the cost of assistance, 

in accordance with regulations issued 

by the Secretary. These regulations 

implement requirements governing, 

among other things, the service 

obligation for scholars, reporting 

requirements by grantees, and 

repayment of scholarships by scholars. 

In order for the federal government to 

ensure that the goals of the program are 

achieved, certain data collection, 

recordkeeping, and documentation are 

necessary. In addition, this data 

collection is governed by the 

Government Performance and Results 

Act (GPRA). GPRA requires Federal 

agencies to establish performance 

measures for all programs, and OSEP 

has established performance measures 

for the Personnel Development Program. 

Data collection, from scholars who have 

received scholarships under the 

Personnel Development Program, is 

necessary to evaluate these measures.
