(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Mathematics and
Science Partnerships Program: Annual
Performance Report.
OMB Control Number: 1810–0669.
Type of Review: Revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, or Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 600.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 7,800.
Abstract: The Mathematics and
Science Partnerships (MSP) program is
a formula grant program to the States in
which states make competitive awards
to projects. The authorizing legislation,
Title II, Part B, Section 2202 (f) of the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act of 1965 as amended by the No Child
Left Behind Act of 2001, requires all
locally funded projects to report
annually to the Secretary documenting
progress towards goals and objectives.
The Annual Performance Report (APR)
is an online reporting tool. Annual
reporting requirements include impact
on increasing teacher learning and
student achievement; standard
descriptive information on the MSP
projects; the professional development
participants; the professional
development models, content, and
processes; the evaluation plans; and
lessons learned. By structuring the
reporting so that all MSPs are required
to provide standardized data, the
program office is better able to examine
outcomes across funded partnerships.
The primary objective of the proposed
revision is to reduce burden on
reporting entities while ensuring that
needed data continue to be collected.
Proposed revisions include removing
items that duplicate information,
condensing sections of the APR that
require substantial project burden to
complete, and clarifying reporting
instructions to improve quality of
responses.
