This request is for a renewal of OMB approval to collect data necessary for the Charter Schools Program (CSP) Grant Award Database. This current data collection is being coordinated with the EDFacts initiative to reduce respondent burden and fully utilize data submitted by States and available to the U.S. Department of Education (ED) through the Education Data Exchange Network (EDEN). Specifically, under the current data collection, ED collects CSP grant award information from grantees (State agencies and some schools) to populate the database of current CSP-funded charter schools and award amounts. Once complete, ED merges performance information extracted from the EDEN database with the database of CSP-funded charter schools. Together, this data allows ED to monitor CSP grant performance and analyze data related to accountability for academic performance, financial integrity, and program effectiveness.

There is an adjustment decrease in the number of respondents and annual reporting burden. Current burden is 127 hours, this extension requests a new burden of 98 annual hours. The number of respondents has changed, as the number of sub-grants is better known to ED, which allows for a more precise calculation of the total burden hours. The data elements remain the same for the current and future data collection activities. No additional data elements have been added to this request for renewal.
