SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. 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 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: Implementation of Title I/II-A Program
Initiatives--Preliminary Activities.
OMB Control Number: 1850-NEW.
Type of Review: A new information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 92.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 15.
Abstract: When the primary federal law governing K-12 schooling was
updated in 2015 as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), it shifted
many decisions to states and districts. However, through two of its
core programs (Title I and Title II-A), ESSA retained federal
requirements for states to set challenging content standards, assess
student performance, identify and support low-performing schools, and
promote the development of the educator workforce. How states and
districts respond to the combination of flexibility and requirements
and how policies are enacted in schools and classrooms will determine
whether ESSA stimulates educational improvement as intended, which is
particularly important in the wake of
[[Page 40032]]
educational disruptions wrought by the coronavirus pandemic.
This is the first of two clearance requests. This first package
requests clearance to inform school districts of the study and collect
teacher lists for the purpose of preparing to conduct a nationally
representative survey in spring 2022. The second package, to be
submitted at a later date, will request clearance for state, district,
principal, and teacher survey instruments and the collection of these
data.
