SUMMARY: The Acting Director, Information Resources Management Service,

required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980.

(OMB) has been requested by August 1, 1994.

Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attention: Dan Chenok, Desk

Officer, Department of Education, Office of Management and Budget, 725

between 8 a.m. and 8 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 Acting Director, Information Resources Management Service,

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) Abstract; (4) Additional Information; (5)
