Abstract: Title IX, Part C, Sections 9301-9306, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended , authorizes the Secretary of Education to provide States the option of submitting consolidated applications to obtain funds for covered programs in which the State participates. The purpose of consolidated applications as defined in ESEA is to improve teaching and learning by encouraging greater cross-program coordination, planning, and service delivery; to enhance program integration; and to provide greater flexibility and less burden for State educational agencies. The Department will use the information from the consolidated State application as the basis for approving funding under the covered ESEA, as amended programs (in which the State participates). The Department also will use the performance targets, baseline data, and other related information in the consolidated application to continue to assess the degree of progress States make over time in achieving ESEA goals. As with previous collections, the information in this collection will allow the Department to continue to monitor effectiveness of the use of program funds, and provide grantees with technical assistance.

Short Statement: The previous burden hour inventory for the Consolidated State Application was 38,532, which incorporated the burden on states to respond to new requirements from the 2008 Title I regulations. All states provided this information in 2008-2010. Therefore, the only burden currently associated with this collection is the burden hours for updating an application. We estimate that approximately 30 SEAs will request to make changes or updates to their consolidated state applications. We estimate that the burden hours for updating the application to be 2,400 hours. The burden for this collection is a program change decreasing burden and responses by 36,132 hours and 22 responses.
