Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests

AGENCY: Department of Education.


[[Page 8050]]


SUMMARY: The Acting Director, Information Collection Clearance 
Division, 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 
April 26, 2010.

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 Acting Director, Information Collection 
Clearance Division, 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.

    Abstract: Since 1989, the Private School Universe Survey (PSS) 
provides biennially an accurate and complete list of all private 
schools in the U.S., along with a variety of related data, including: 
Religious orientation; grade-levels taught and size of school; length 
of school year and of school day; total student enrollment by gender 
(K-12); number of high school graduates; whether a school is single-
sexed or coeducational; number of teachers employed; program emphasis; 
and existence and type of its kindergarten program. PSS includes all 
schools that are not supported primarily by public funds, provide 
classroom instruction for one or more of grades K-12 or comparable 
ungraded levels, and have one or more teachers. No substantive changes 
have been made to the survey or its procedures since its last approved 
administration.
