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

information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The
Department of Education is especially interested in public comment
addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to

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: High School Equivalency Program (HEP) Annual
Performance Report.
[[Page 32252]]
OMB Control Number: 1810-0684.
Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 51.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,173.
Abstract: This is a request for an extension without change for the
1810-0684 High School Equivalency Program (HEP) Annual Performance
Report collection. The Office of Migrant Education (OME) is collecting
information for the High School Equivalency Program (HEP) which is
authorized under Title IV, Section 418A of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended by Section 408 of the Higher Education Opportunity Act
(HEOA)(20 U.S.C. 1070d-2) (special programs for students whose families
are engaged in migrant and seasonal farmwork) and 2 CFR 200.328 which
requires that recipients of discretionary grants submit an Annual
Performance Report (APR) to best inform improvements in program
outcomes and productivity.
Although the Education Department continues to use the generic
524B, OME is requesting to continue the use of a customized APR that
goes beyond the generic 524B APR to facilitate the collection of more
standardized and comprehensive data to inform Government Performance
Results Act (GPRA) indicators, to improve the overall quality of data
collected, and to increase the quality of data that can be used to
inform policy decisions.
Dated: June 14, 2021.

PRA Coordinator, Strategic Collections and Clearance Governance and
Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning,
Evaluation and Policy Development.
