1) Common Core of Data. Within six months of this clearance, Education will provide to OMB a written update on progress towards collecting Common Core of Data (CCD) via EDEN/EDFacts, including an assessment of data quality. In addition, OMB looks forward to seeing the procedures document ED has agreed to prepare between EDEN/EDFacts and NCES staff.
2) Status of State submissions. At the beginning of the collection cycles, ED will provide to OMB the timeline for when data are due and the timeline for data checks. In addition, ED will report to OMB on the status of State submissions, including the extent to which State submissions are complete, and the areas in which they are complete. The timelines would be provided annually. The State status reports could be either quarterly or semi-annually.
3) Publicly available document on phase-in policy for data elements. Within three months of clearance, ED would post on its website the policy for transitioning in data elements.
4) Reports on data governance. ED will report quarterly on the development of its data governance plans, policies, and procedures. Once the policies and procedures are established, ED will provide them to OMB in written form, and report annually on major data governance issues.
5) Status of implementation and training within ED. ED will report periodically, and no less than annually, on the extent to which EDFacts is being used within the Department and the extent to which personnel have been trained to use it.

EDFacts is in the implementation phase of a multiple year effort to consolidate the collection of education information about States, Districts, and Schools in a way that improves data quality and reduces paperwork burden for all of the national education partners. To minimize the burden on the data providers, EDEN seeks the transfer of the proposed data as soon as it has been processed for State, District, and School use. These data will then be stored in EDFacts and accessed by federal education program managers and analysts as needed to make program management decisions. This process will eliminate redundant data collections while providing for the timeliness of data submission and use.
The difference in burden, a decrease of 462,000 hours, is a program change resulting from removing the entire burden for the biennial Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC).
