Title of Collection: Office of State Support Progress Check
Quarterly Protocol.
OMB Control Number: 1810-0733.
Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved
ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 212.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 636.
Abstract: The Office of School Support and Accountability (SSA)
administers Title I, Sections 1001-1004 (School Improvement); Title I,
Part A (Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Educational
Agencies); Title I, Part B Grants for State Assessments and Related
Activities; Title II, Part A (Supporting Effective Instruction); Title
I, Part D (Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk); Title IV, Part B (21st

directors and coordinators, help ensure that State Educational Agencies
(SEAs) are making progress toward increasing student achievement and
improving the quality of instruction for all students through regular
conversations about the quality of SEA implementation of SSA
administered programs. The information shared with SSA helps inform the
selection and delivery of technical assistance to SEAs and aligns
structures, processes, and routines so SSA can regularly monitor the
connection between grant administration and intended outcomes. Progress
checks also allow SSA to proactively engage with SEAs to identify any
issues ahead of formal monitoring visits, decreasing the need for
enforcement actions and minimizing burden for SEAs. This is a request
for a renewal without change of this collection.
