DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests
AGENCY: Department of Education.
SUMMARY: The IC Clearance Official, Regulatory Information Management
Services, Office of Management, invites comments on the proposed
information collection requests as required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before
November 6, 2007.
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 IC Clearance Official, Regulatory
Information Management Services, Office of Management, 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.
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 might the Department minimize the burden of this collection on
the respondents, including through the use of information technology.

Type of Review: Revision.
Title: Projects with Industry Annual Reporting Form.
Frequency: Annually.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit; Not-for-profit
institutions; State, Local, or Tribal Gov't, SEAs or LEAs.
Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:
Responses: 72.
Burden Hours: 6,480.
Abstract: This collection will be used to measure the effectiveness
of the Projects With Industry Program in meeting its purpose, statutory
requirements and address concerns raised as a result of the PART. The
proposed revisions to the existing data collection package were
recommended in order to: (1) Respond to OMB PART recommendations to
collect job retention and earnings information that is consistent with
the common measures for federal job training programs; (2) include
demographic and other descriptive data on the individuals served by the
program; and (3) consolidate the two existing reporting requirements
thereby reducing the number of reports submitted by PWI grantees from
two to one annually. The information collected will be aggregated in
order to provide information to Congress, Office of Management and
Budget, policy makers and the public.
