SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) provide interested Federal agencies and the public 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 Leader, Information Management Group, Office of the Chief Financial and Chief Information Officer, publishes that notice containing proposed information collection requests prior to submission of these requests to OMB. Each proposed information collection, grouped by office, contains the following: (1) Type of review requested, e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of the collection; (4) Description of the need for, and proposed use of, the information; (5) Respondents and frequency of collection; and (6) Reporting and/or Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites public comment at the address specified above. Copies of the requests are available from Patrick J. Sherrill at the address specified above.

Dated: October 13, 1998. Kent H. Hannaman, Leader, Information Management Group, Office of the Chief Financial and Chief Information Officer.

Office of the Under Secretary

Type of Review: Extension.

Title: Federal Interagency Coordinating Council: Family Member Suggested Application/Nomination Form.

Frequency: On occasion.

Affected Public: Individuals or households; Not-for-profit institutions; Federal Government; State, local or Tribal Gov't, SEAs or LEAs.

Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: Responses: 100. Burden Hours: 200.

Abstract: Potential members will complete the application/ nomination form in order to be selected as members on the Federal Interagency Coordinating Council (FICC). The law requires that at least 20% of the members of the FICC be parents of children with disabilities age 12 or under, of whom at least one must have a child with a disability under the age of 6. Three parent positions expired in the spring of 1998 and were extended for one year due to extensive changes in the staffing and functioning of the FICC. One resignation occurred resulting in an under representation of parents on the FICC and lack of compliance with the statute. Therefore, all positions are in the process of being replaced and the need for OMB clearance of the form was necessary. The collected data will be used to make selections for FICC members.
