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: Study of the Impact of English Learner 
Reclassification Policies.
    OMB Control Number: 1850-NEW.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 30.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 817.
    Abstract: The data collection described in this submission will 
assist policymakers in understanding the impact of reclassification 
policies that exit students from English learner (EL) status. 
Specifically, the study will examine (1) whether reclassification was 
implemented more consistently across districts within states after the 
start of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and (2) whether 
reclassification at current thresholds helps, harms, or is neutral for 
former ELs' instructional opportunities, experiences, achievement, and 
attainment. Data for the study will come from extant state longitudinal 
data systems and publicly available data on state policies.
