    Title of Collection: Consolidated State Plan.
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0576.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
ICR.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 52.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 108,155.
    Abstract: This collection, currently approved by OMB under control 
number 1810-0576, covers the consolidated State plan (previously known 
as the consolidated State application), as well as assessment peer 
review guidance. Section 8302 of the ESEA, as amended by the ESSA, 
permits each SEA, in consultation with the Governor, to apply for 
program funds through submission of a consolidated State plan (in lieu 
of individual program State plans). The purpose of consolidated State 
plans as defined in ESEA is to improve teaching and learning by 
encouraging greater cross-program coordination, planning, and service 
delivery; to enhance program integration; and to provide greater 
flexibility and less burden for State educational agencies. This is a 
request for extension without change for this collection.

Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning,
