ACTION: Notice of proposed information collection requests.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Acting Director, Information Resources Management Service,

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 October 1, 1994.

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,

DC 20503. Requests for copies of the proposed information collection

request should be addressed to Patrick J. Sherrill, Department of

Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., Room 5624, Regional Office

Building 3, Washington, DC 20202-4651.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Patrick J. Sherrill, (202) 708-9915. Individuals who use a

telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal

Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 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)
