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: DC School Choice Incentive Program.
OMB Control Number: 1810-NEW.
Type of Review: A new information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 3,000.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,000.
Abstract: The DC Opportunity Scholarship Program, authorized by the
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2004, and reauthorized in 2017 by
the Scholarships for Opportunity and Results (SOAR) Reauthorization
Act, awarded a grant to Serving Our Children in order to administer
scholarships to students who reside in the District of Columbia and
come from households whose incomes do not exceed 185% of the poverty
line. To assist in the student selection and assignment process, the
information collected is used to determine the eligibility of those
students who are interested in the available scholarships. Also, since
the authorizing statute requires an evaluation, we are proposing to
collect certain family demographic information because they are
important predictors of school success. Finally, we are asking to
collect information about parental participation and satisfaction
because these are key topics that the statute requires the evaluation
to address. This request makes two small changes to the questions
previously approved by OMB. One is to add a question about how the
families heard of Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP). The other is
to add a check box in section 9 (relating to students with
disabilities) pursuant to the competitive grant application
instructions.
Previously this information collection was approved under OMB
#1855-0015. This program and the associated collection were moved to
the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education within the Department.
As such, it requires a new OMB number that corresponds with the OMB
numbers for collections from the Office of Elementary and Secondary
Education. For that reason, we are requesting a new information
collection and will discontinue 1855-0015 when this request is
approved.

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