burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note that written comments received

(Ed-Flex) Program.

Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.

Abstract: The Educational Flexibility (Ed-Flex) program is
authorized under the Education Flexibility Partnership Act of 1999 and
was reauthorized by section 9207 of the Every Student Succeeds Act
(ESSA). The Ed-Flex program allows the Secretary to authorize a State
educational agency that serves an eligible State to waive statutory or
regulatory requirements applicable to one or more the included programs
for any local educational agency (LEAs), educational service agency, or
school within the State. This information collection includes data
reporting requirements that States must follow as part of the process
of applying to be designated an Ed-Flex Partnership State.
