an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing

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.

    Abstract: In compliance with Title 34 CFR part 602.10; 602.55; 
602.56; and 603.24, the information collected consists of petitions, 
reports, and accreditation notifications. The information collected is 
required to determine if accrediting agencies comply or are comparable 
to the Secretary of Education's criteria for recognition and is used to 
allow the Secretary to make determinations on new, extension and/or 
continuing recognition or comparability status. Only postsecondary 
institutions and countries deemed to be using comparable standards 
obtain Title IV funding for its students.
