                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in
                accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
                3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with
                an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing
                collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact
                of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's
                reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's
                information collection requirements and provide the requested data in
                the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed
                information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The
                Department of Education is especially interested in public comment
                addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to
                the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be
                processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden
                accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility,
                and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how
                [[Page 34424]]
                might the Department minimize the burden of this collection on the
                respondents, including through the use of information technology.
                Please note that written comments received in response to this notice
                will be considered public records.
