SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act

interested Federal agencies and the public an early opportunity to
comment on information collection requests. The Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) may amend or waive the requirement for public
consultation to the extent that public participation in the approval

State or Federal law, or substantially interfere with any agency's
ability to perform its statutory obligations. The Director, Information
Collection Clearance Division, Regulatory Information Management
Services, Office of Management, publishes this notice containing
proposed information collection requests at the beginning of the
Departmental review of the information collection. 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. ED 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

Title: Education Jobs Fund Program Application.
OMB #: 1810-NEW.
Agency Form(s) #: N/A.
Abstract: On August 10, 2010, President Barack Obama signed H.R.
1586, which authorizes the Education Jobs Fund Program. This economic
recovery bill provides an investment in education to retain or create
education jobs. It provides needed aid to school districts for the
support of early childhood, elementary and secondary education. Under
the Education Jobs Fund (Education Jobs), the U.S. Department of
Education (Department) will award grants to Governors according to a
formula based on their relative population of individuals aged 5 to 24
(sixty-one percent) and based on relative total population (thirty-nine
percent).
Additional Information: In order to provide immediate assistance to
help alleviate the substantial budget shortfalls that school districts
are facing, the Department is committed to providing the Education Jobs
allocations within a very short timeframe, necessitating emergency
clearance of the Education Jobs program application. Specifically, the
statute directs the Department to award each State the total amount
that it is to receive within 45 days after the date of the enactment of
the Act, if the governor submits an approvable application within 30
days after the date of enactment.
Frequency: One time.
Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Government, State
Educational Agencies (SEAs) or Local Educational Agencies (LEAs).
Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:
Responses: 51.
