Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attention: Dan Chenok, Desk

Officer, Department of Education, Office of Management and Budget, 726

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 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)

Frequency of collection; (6) Affected public; and (7) Reporting and/or

Recordkeeping burden. Because an expedited review is requested, a

description of the information to be collected is also included as an

attachment to this notice.

Dated: January 28, 1994.

Title: Application for Cooperative Demonstration School-To-Work

Opportunities State Implementation Grants under the Cooperative

Demonstration Program authorized under Title IV, part 420A of the Carl

Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act (Pub. L. 101-

392). The requested information will be used to determine the

an emergency review and approval from the Office of Management and

Budget. The Department's requested approval date is January 28, 1994.

year. To achieve this, the Department's intended grant recipients must

be notified during May of 1994 and their grants must be awarded by July

1, 1994. A publication of the notice inviting applications by January
