Abstract: The regulations for Title I, Part C establish minimum requirements for a State Educational Agency (SEA) comprehensive needs assessment, plan for service delivery, and program evaluation. The regulations also establish minimum requirements for documenting eligibility, re-interviewing, and establishing a system of quality controls. The Secretary will use the information collected to monitor the accuracy of program eligibility determinations, make needed improvements, and adjust State Migrant Education Program (MEP) allocations based on reported defect rates.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This is an extension of a currently approved information collection. There is an adjustment in the number of responses and burden. The number of responses decreased from 300,049 to 230,048 - a difference of 70,001 resposnes. The number of burden hours decreased from 522,765 hours to 408,633 hours - a difference of 114,132 hours. The reduction in burden and responses was achieved not as a result of deliberate Federal government action, but rather due to decreases in the number of eligible migratory children. The increased Federal costs are due to the fact that the Department will hire a contractor to operate Migrant Education Programs in the three Bypass states (CT, RI, and WV).
