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
[[Page 25231]]
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: Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education
Act State Plan.
OMB Control Number: 1830-0029.
Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 54.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,620.
Abstract: This request is to revise the information collection that
will expire on April 30, 2022. The Department requests to revise the
collection tool for one year in order to gather State Plans and annual
revisions under Perkins V and makes the following changes: This
information collection solicits from all eligible States and outlying
areas the State plans required under Title I of the Carl D. Perkins
Career and Technical Education Act of 2006, as amended by the
Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century
(Perkins V).
The revision to this collection instrument removes the cover
letter, removes the requirements and instructions related to submission
of Perkins V State Plans in FY 2019 and FY 2020. The Department
recognized that it would take time for eligible agencies to update
their CTE systems, policies, and programs to align with the
requirements of Perkins V after it was signed into law on July 31,
2018. As such, eligible agencies had the option of submitting a 1-Year
Transition Plan in FY 2019 or a Perkins V State Plan that covered 5
years from FY 2019 to FY 2023. Some background information regarding
the submission or original State Plans was maintained for historical
context, but much of the information related to these original options
is no longer relevant as states prepare annual revisions. This revision
removes the requirement that eligible agencies submit local formula
allocations as part of State Plan revisions in subsequent years. Local
formula allocation information is collected annually as part of the
OMB-approved Perkins V Consolidated Annual Report (CAR)--(OMB Control
Number 1830-0569). The revised tool adds a budget line item related to
the percent of funds made available to serve individuals in ``other''
State institutions. Perkins V requires that eligible agencies make
funds available to serve individuals in State institutions, such as (1)
State correctional institutions, (2) juvenile justice facilities, and
(3) educational institutions that serve individuals with disabilities.
Some states provide funds to State institutions beyond the three types
of institutions explicitly identified in Perkins V and therefore an
additional ``other'' line item is needed to collect this information.
The revised collection also changes references to fiscal years (FYs) to
program years (PYs) on the section V.B State Determined Performance
Levels (SDPL) Form to reduce confusion among grantees as they set SDPL
targets that align to performance data that is ultimately reported
based upon program year.
