SUMMARY: The Director, Information Resources Group, invites comments on 
proposed information collection requests as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1980.

DATES: An expedited review has been requested in accordance with the 
Act, since allowing for the normal review period would adversely affect 
the public interest. Approval by the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) has been requested by April 17, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to the Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attention: Dan Chenok, Desk 
Officer, Department of Education, Office of Management and Budget, 725 
17th Street NW., Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington,

request should be addressed to Patrick J. Sherrill, Department of 
Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW., Room 5624, Regional Office Building

p.m., Eastern time, Monday through Friday.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3517 of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1980 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 3517) requires that the Director of OMB 
provide interested Federal agencies and persons 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 Director, Information Resources Group, publishes this notice 
with the attached proposed information collection request prior to 
submission of this request to OMB. This notice contains the following 
information: (1) Type of review requested, e.g., expedited; (2) Title; 
(3) Ahstract; (4) Additional Information; (5) Frequency of collection; 
(6) Affected public; and (7) Reporting and/or Recordkeeping burden. 
Because an expedited review has been requested, a description of the 
information to be collected is also included as an attachment to this 
notice.
