This document contains summaries of two proposed information collection requests by the Department of Education. The first is a revision to collect assurances of compliance with new civil rights laws from state and local education agencies. It would amend an existing form to include the Boy Scouts of America Equal Access Act. The second is a one-time collection for the 2007 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study. It would survey over 25,000 4th and 8th grade students, teachers, and school administrators in the U.S. and other countries about curricula, instruction, and school characteristics to assess math and science knowledge internationally.
