Previous Terms of Clearance/Comments: 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.
This OMB83 C change represents 52 additional hours that are being transferred from the 1820-0681. OMB control #1820-0681 was approved earlier this year with the final regulation (Title I - Improving The Academic Achievement Of The Disadvantaged; Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) -- Assistance to States for the Education of Children with Disabilities). The hours for section 200.20 are now being transferred to the appropriate collection number as noted in the 1820-0681 collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).

(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
