The Consolidated State Performance
Report (CSPR) is the required annual reporting tool for each State,
Bureau of Indian Education, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico
as authorized under Section 9303 of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left behind Act of
2001 (NCLB). The Department uses the information derived from the
CSPR to : (1) monitor and report its progress in meeting Strategic
Plan goals; (2) assess and report individual program performance,
including GPRA performance measures; (3) monitor States'
implementation of NCLB and the extent to which States are meeting
programs and accountability goals;(4)to identify areas for
technical assistance to States and overall program improvement; and
(5) to inform other reporting and program evaluation requirements
specific to individual programs and including the Secretary's
Annual State Report to Congress on No Child Left Behind. Specific
to this submission, which requests the addition of new items to
meet statutory and regulatory reporting requirement, Title I
monitoring teams and other ED officials will use these data to
ensure that SEAs, LEAs, and schools implement science assessment
requirements and school improvement activities in accordance with
ESEA statute and regulations.

The change in burden is due to
the elimination of questions from the CSPR. The program office
determined that they did not need the questions enough to justify
the burden on states. The removal of the data elements resulted in
a reduction of burden by 79 hours. There is no change in the number
of respondents.
