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 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.

Form.
    OMB Control Number: 1880-0544.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 500.

    Abstract: The Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCO) reviews, 
investigates, and processes complaints of alleged violations of the 
Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Protection of 
Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) filed by parents and eligible students. 
FPCO's authority to investigate, review, and process complaints extends 
to allegations of violations of FERPA by any recipient of United States 
Department of Education (Department) funds under a program administered 
by the Secretary (e.g., schools, school districts, postsecondary 
institutions, state educational agencies, and other third parties that 
receive Department funds). This revision includes the addition of the 
PPRA Complaint form that would allow parents to file a complaint. The 
Department expects to receive more than 10 complaints under the PPRA 
requiring approval.
