SUMMARY: The Director, Information Resources Management Service,

(OMB) has been requested by March 31, 1994.

Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attention: Dan Chenok, Desk

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

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

attachment to this notice.
