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: Migrant Student Information Exchange (MSIX)
Minimum Data Elements (MDEs).
OMB Control Number: 1810-0683.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 46.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 399,774.
Abstract: The Migrant Information Exchange (MSIX) is a nationwide
electronic records exchange mechanism mandated under Title I, Part C of
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the
Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The Migrant Education Program (MEP)
is authorized under sections 1301-1309 in Title I, Part C of the ESEA.
MSIX and the minimum data elements (MDEs) are authorized under section
1308(b) of the ESEA, as amended. As a condition of receiving a grant of
funds under the MEP, each State Educational Agency (SEA) is required to
collect, maintain, and submit minimum health and education-related data
to MSIX within established time-frames. Regulations CFR 34 Sec. 200.85
for the MSIX issued by the U.S. Department of Education (the
Department) have been in effect as of June 9, 2016. MSIX is designed to
facilitate timely school enrollment, grade and course placement,
accrual of secondary course credits and participation in the MEP for
migratory children. The regulations help the Department determine
accurate migratory child counts and meet other MEP reporting
requirements.
The Department is requesting approval to for a revision of the
1810-0683 information collection that supports statutory requirements
for data collection under Title I, Part C MEP.
The Office of Migrant Education (OME) would like specific feedback
on the following additions to the MSIX MDEs:
(1) the addition of family contact MDEs, including phone numbers
and email addresses;
(2) the addition of new acceptable values beyond ``Male'' and
``Female'' for MDE #9 (Sex).
Please see the ``MSIX Minimum Data Elements'' attachment for
details on the MDE additions and changes. There have been edits made to
MDE #s--1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 20, 26, 27, 29, 31, 32, 33, 42, 44, 45,
47, 48, 52, 64, 72, and 74. New MDEs are #'s 77, 78, 79, 80, and 81.
OME has received feedback to include the ``Qualifying Activity''
MDE. At this time, OME has decided not to include the ``Qualifying
Activity'' MDE because the MDE by itself does not provide additional
information regarding the child's qualifying arrival date since it is
connected to the worker, not the child, on the National Certificate of
Eligibility (COE). OME is seeking specific feedback on the usefulness
of this MDE for the States and why it should be included.
