SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department, 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 ICR that
is described below. The Department is especially interested in public
comments 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 record.
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.
