ED/OESE will
continue to monitor the accuracy of the burden estimate for this
collection. Specifically, ED/OESE will look at the accuracy of the
estimate for the development and revision of school improvement
plans (34 CFR 200.39, 200.41, and 200.42), which accounts for the
majority of the 4 million hour burden increase for this submission.
ED/OESE will report back to OMB on its findings when this
collection is resubmitted for approval under the PRA.

Title I, Part A of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act, as amended by the No Child Left Behind
Act, requires State educational agencies (SEAs), local educational
agencies (LEAs), and schools to collect and disseminate information
to document progress, inform parents and the public about school,
district, and state educational performance, and provide services
to students and teachers to help at-risk students meet challenging
State achievement standards. The change in burden hours is
primarily due to updated estimates of the time needed for SEA, LEA,
and school implementation of statutory district and school
improvement planning requirements and the statutory requirement
that local educational agencies notify parents of eligible students
in schools in improvement of their public school choice and
supplemental educational services option. The estimate also
reflects hours for new final regulation 200.6(b)(4)(i)(c) and hours
for the preparation of SEA and LEA report cards.
