The Department is especially interested in public comment addressing

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: State Education Agency, Local Educational 
Agency, and School Data Collection and Reporting under ESEA, Title I, 
Part A.
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0581.
    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: 17,022.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 293,152.
    Abstract: Title I, Part A (Title I) of the Elementary and Secondary 
Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds 
Act of 2015 (ESSA), contains several provisions that require State 
educational agencies (SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs), and 
schools to collect and disseminate information. Thus, SEAs, LEAs, and 
schools collect and disseminate the information to carry out these 
reporting requirements. The collected information facilitates 
compliance with statutory requirements and provides information to 
school communities (including parents), LEAs, SEAs and the U.S. 
Department of Education (the Department) regarding activities required 
under Title I of the ESEA. The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) covers 
these activities. However, the present information collection 
authorization is due to expire. Therefore, the Department requests an 
extension of the currently approved information collection (1810-0581).

Ross Santy,
Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy 
Development.
