DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests
AGENCY: Department of Education.
SUMMARY: The Leader, Information Policy and Standards Team, Regulatory
Information Management Services, Office of Management, invites comments
on the proposed information collection requests as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before
October 10, 2006.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 Leader, Information Policy and Standards
Team, 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 through the use of information technology.

Type of Review: Extension.
Title: State Educational Agency Local Educational Agency, and
School Data Collection and Reporting under ESEA, Title I, Part A.
Frequency: Annually.
Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Gov't, SEAs or LEAs.
Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:
Responses: 43,285.
Burden Hours: 6,457,586.
Abstract: Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education
Act, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act, requires State
educational agencies, local educational agencies, and schools to
collect and disseminate information to document progress, inform
parents and the public about school, district, and state educational
performance, and provide services to students and teachers to help at-
risk students meet challenging State achievement standards. The change
in burden hours is primarily due to updated estimates of the time
needed for State educational agency, local educational agency, and
school implementation of statutory district and school improvement
planning requirements and the statutory requirement that local
educational agencies notify parents of eligible students in schools in
improvement of their public school choice and supplemental educational
services option.
