Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Annual Burden Hours: 9,750. Number of Respondents: 39,000. Responses per Respondent: 1. Annual Responses: 39,000. Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes. Frequency: One Time. Respondents are individuals or households who register at Army installation’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) libraries or other Army libraries in order to check out print, audio-visual, and/or electronic materials. Army MWR libraries collect name, address, phone number, last four digits of Social Security Number (SSN), DoD ID number, rank, date of birth, and email address in order to identify individuals authorized to borrow library materials, to ensure that all library property is returned, and the individual’s account is cleared. As there are over 500,000 registered borrowers/ users in the MWR General Library Information System (GLIS), several identifiers are needed to match the record with the person requesting service. During registration, library borrowers agree to be responsible for replacement or reimbursement for lost or damaged materials borrowed by themselves or authorized Family members using Form DA 7745.

Other Army libraries collect less types of personal information for the borrower/user profile such as no SSN or no DoD ID. Dated: June 1, 2015.

The estimated cost is $310 million. Turkey is a partner of the United States in ensuring peace and stability in the region. It is vital to the U.S. national interest to assist our NATO ally in developing and maintaining a strong and ready self-defense capability. This proposed sale is consistent with those objectives. The proposed sale will provide the Turkish Navy with enhanced selfdefense capabilities for surface combatants supporting both national and multinational naval operations. The sale will extend the life of existing weapons systems and add four new weapons to Turkey’s two future Landing Ships Tank (LST) vessels. Turkey has significant experience in maintaining and supporting CIWS, particularly MK 15 Phalanx CIWS Block 0, and has capable infrastructure that will require minimal updates. The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region. The principal contractor will be Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, Arizona. The purchaser has requested offsets. At this time, agreements are undetermined and will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and contractor. Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Turkey. However, Contractor Engineering and Technical Services (CETS) may be required on an interim basis for installations and integration. There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

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 SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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: Mandatory Civil Rights Data Collection. OMB Control Number: 1870–0504. Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 17,620. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,520,260. Abstract: The collection, use, and reporting of education data is an integral component of the mission of the U.S. Department of Education (ED). EDFacts, an ED initiative to put performance data at the center of ED’s policy, management, and budget decisionmaking processes for all K–12 education programs, has transformed the way in which ED collects and uses data. For school years 2009–10 and 2011–12, the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) was approved by OMB as part of the EDFacts information collection (1875–0240). For school years 2013–14 and 2015–16, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) cleared the CRDC as a separate collection from EDFacts. OCR used the most current EDFacts information collection approved by OMB (1875–0240) as a model for the 2013–14 and 2015–16 CRDC information collection that was approved by OMB (1870–0504) in February 2014. Similarly, the currently proposed revised CRDC information collection for school year 2015–16 is modeled after the most recent OMBapproved EDFacts information collection. Except for a few data elements that were revised based on recommendations received from various school districts and advice received from experts across ED, the currently proposed CRDC information collection for school year 2015–16 is identical to the information collection for school year 2015–16 that was approved by OMB in February 2014. As with previous CRDC collections, the purpose of the 2015–16 CRDC is to obtain vital data related to the civil rights laws’ E:\FR\FM\04JNN1.SGM 04JNN1

    Turkey is a partner of the United States in ensuring peace and 
stability in the region. It is vital to the U.S. national interest to 
assist our NATO ally in developing and maintaining a strong and ready 
self-defense capability. This proposed sale is consistent with those 
objectives.
    The proposed sale will provide the Turkish Navy with enhanced self-
defense capabilities for surface combatants supporting both national 
and multinational naval operations. The sale will extend the life of 
existing weapons systems and add four new weapons to Turkey's two 
future Landing Ships Tank (LST) vessels. Turkey has significant 
experience in maintaining and supporting CIWS, particularly MK 15 
Phalanx CIWS Block 0, and has capable infrastructure that will require 
minimal updates.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    The principal contractor will be Raytheon Missile Systems in 
Tucson, Arizona. The purchaser has requested offsets. At this time, 
agreements are undetermined and will be defined in negotiations between
