annual reports to the Secretary of
Education concerning implementation
of the GFSA’s requirements based on
information collected from local
educational agencies (LEAs) in their
applications requesting assistance. The
GFSA requires each State receiving
ESEA funds to have in effect a State law
requiring LEAs to expel from school for
a period of not less than one year a
student found to have brought a firearm
to school or to have possessed a firearm
at school. The GFSA also requires LEAs
that receive ESEA funds to adopt a
policy requiring referral to the criminal
justice or juvenile delinquency system
of any student who brings a firearm to
school or possesses a firearm at school.

Notice of Proposed Information
Collection Requests
Department of Education.
SUMMARY:
Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before January
12, 2009.
DATES:
Section
3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires
that the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) provide interested
Federal agencies and the public an early
opportunity to comment on information
collection requests. OMB may amend or
waive the requirement for public
consultation to the extent that public
participation in the approval process
would defeat the purpose of the
information collection, violate State or
Federal law, or substantially interfere
with any agency’s ability to perform its
statutory obligations. The IC Clearance
Official, Regulatory Information
Management Services, Office of
Management, publishes that notice
containing proposed information
collection requests prior to submission
of these requests to OMB. 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. OMB 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 (5) how might the
Department minimize the burden of this
collection on the respondents, including

Title: Transition to Teaching
Evaluation.
Frequency: Other: At the end of the
third year and end of final year of the
TTT grant.
Affected Public: Not-for-profit
institutions; State, Local, or Tribal
Gov’t, SEAs or LEAs.

Responses: 135.
Burden Hours: 45.
Abstract: This is a request for
approval to collect information from
Transition to Teaching (TTT) grantees
that will be used to describe the extent
to which local education agencies that
received TTT grant funds have met the
goals relating to teacher recruitment and
retention described in their application.
TTT grantees are funded for a period of
five years. Currently, grantees are
required by statute to submit an interim
project evaluation to ED at the end of
the third project year and a final project
evaluation at the project’s end. In turn,
the TTT program is required to prepare
and submit to the Secretary and to
Congress interim and final program
evaluations containing the results of
these grantee project evaluation reports.
An analysis of these reports has
provided some data on grantee
activities, but the poor quality of some
reports and missing or incomplete data
in others have made it difficult to
aggregate data across grantees in order
to accurately describe to Congress the
extent of program implementation. This
proposed data collection would allow
ED to gather data on a common set of
indicators across grantees to describe
program implementation, and to
investigate the conditions under which
projects have been successful at
recruiting, preparing and retaining
highly qualified teachers in high-need
schools in high-need LEAs.

information collection request may be
