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: Magnet Schools Assistance Program Application
for Grants.
OMB Control Number: 1855-0011.
Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 125.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 5,062.
Abstract: The purpose of the Magnet Schools Assistance program, as
outlined in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), Title IV, part D,
Section 4401 is to assist eligible local educational agencies (LEAs) to
establish and operate magnet schools under court-ordered or federally
approved voluntary desegregation plans. Specifically, the program's
purpose is to assist in the desegregation of public schools by
supporting the elimination, reduction, and prevention of minority group
isolation in elementary and secondary schools with substantial numbers
of minority group students. Funded projects include the development and
implementation of magnet schools that assist LEAs to create more
diverse learning environments, as well as to achieve systemic reforms
and provide opportunities for all students to meet challenging academic
content and student academic achievement standards. MSAP projects
support the development and design of innovative education methods and
practices in new or existing magnet schools that will promote diversity
and increase choices in public education programs. Finally, the program
is intended to support the LEA's capacity development to continue the
operation of the magnet schools at a high performance level after
funding ends.
The U.S. Department of Education is requesting to revise a
collection with one new form to make awards under the Magnet Schools
Assistance Program (MSAP) using the approved application for grants
(OMB Control Number 1855-0011). This collection is being submitted
under the Streamlined Clearance Process for Discretionary Grant
Information Collections (1894-0001). Therefore, the 30-day public
comment period notice will be the only public comment notice published
for this information collection.
