FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For specific questions related to

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: Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need 
(GAANN) Performance Report.
    OMB Control Number: 1840-0748.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local, and 
Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 291.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,274.
    Abstract: GAANN grantees must submit a performance report annually. 
In addition, grantees are required to submit a supplement to the final 
performance report two years after submission of their final report. 
The reports are used to evaluate grantee performance. Further, the data 
from the reports will be aggregated to evaluate the accomplishments and 
impact of the GAANN Program as a whole. Results will be reported to the 
Secretary in order to respond to GPRA requirements.
    Minor changes have been made to the collection to clarify the 
intent of the questions and update the areas of national need. These 
changes did not alter the anticipated burden hours associated with this 
collection. There was a small increase in total burden hours based on 
the recalculation of the burden on public respondents.
