DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests
AGENCY: Department of Education.
SUMMARY: The Director, Information Collection Clearance Division,
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
August 23, 2010.
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 Director, Information Collection
Clearance Division, 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.

Abstract: The Office of Migrant Education is collecting information
for the High School Equivalency Program Annual Performance Report in
compliance with Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, Title IV,
Sec. 418A; 20 U.S.C. 1070d-2 (special programs for students whose
families are engaged in migrant and seasonal farm work), the Government

recipients of multi-year discretionary grants must submit an Annual
Performance Report demonstrating that substantial progress has been
made towards meeting the approved objectives of the project. In
addition, discretionary grantees are required to report on their
progress toward meeting the performance measures established for the
Department of Education grant program. The Office of Migrant Education
requests a revision of a currently approved collection to continue the
use of a customized Annual Performance Report that goes beyond the
Department of Education generic form number 524B Annual Performance
Report to facilitate the collection of more standardized and
comprehensive data to inform GPRA, to improve the overall quality of
data collected, and to increase the quality of data that can be used to
inform policy decisions.
