OMB Control Number: 1820–0583. Agency Form Number(s): N/A. Frequency of Responses: On occasion; annually. Affected Public: Individuals or households Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,875. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 470 Abstract: Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) Peer Reviewer Data Form is used to support the peer review process panel assignments and to update individual peer reviewer personal information in the OSERS Peer Reviewer System database. This information is requested when an individual is asked to serve as a peer reviewer and/or updated biannually by persons who previously served as peer reviewers. The information is used by OSERS staff and the peer review contractor to identify potential reviewers who would be appropriate to review specific types of PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 grant applications for funding; provide background information on each potential reviewer; and provide information on any reasonable accommodations that might be required by the individual. The changes to the data form include adding two check boxes that will allow first-time respondents and repeat reviewers to complete the entire form or simply update contact information. This alleviates the need for a separate form, currently in use, to update reviewer contact information. Also, to promote electronic submission, all the fields were made ‘‘fillable’’ through the use of text or check boxes. Copies of the proposed information collection request may be accessed from https://edicsweb.ed.gov, by selecting the ‘‘Browse Pending Collections’’ link and by clicking on link number 4450.
