SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with 
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact 
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.
    Title of Collection: Magnet Schools Assistance Program Application 
for Grants (1894-0001).
    OMB Control Number: 1855-0011.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 150.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 6,000.
    Abstract: The Magnet Schools Assistance program provides grants to 
eligible local educational agencies to establish and operate magnet 
schools that are operated under a court-ordered or federally approved 
voluntary desegregation plan. These grants assist in the desegregation 
of public schools by supporting the elimination, reduction, and 
prevention of minority group isolation in elementary and secondary 
schools with substantial numbers of minority group students. In order 
to meet the statutory purposes of the program under title V of the 
Elementary and Secondary Education Act, projects also must support the 
development and implementation of magnet schools that assist in the 
achievement of systemic reforms and provide all students with the 
opportunity to meet challenging academic content and student academic 
achievement standards. Projects support the development and design of 
innovative education methods and practices that promote diversity and 
increase choices in public education programs. The program supports 
capacity developmentthe ability of a school to help all its students 
meet more challenging standardsthrough professional development and 
other activities that will enable the continued operation of the magnet 
schools at a high performance level after funding ends. Finally, the 
program supports the implementation of courses of instruction in magnet 
schools that strengthen students knowledge of academic subjects and 
their grasp of tangible and marketable vocational skills.
