P.L. 109-270 requires eligible State agencies to submit a 6-year plan, with annual revisions as the eligible agency deems necessary in order to receive Federal funds. The Office of Vocational and Adult Education/ Division of Academic and Technical Education program staff review the submitted state plans for compliance and quality.
There is a program change increase of +188 total annual burden; this collection period (2013-2016) will distribute the burden equally from year to year prior collections were calculated on an alternating year of negotiation for performance levels for 2 years. From this point on, in each year, States will negotiate performance levels for the upcoming year of collection, rather than doing so in alternating years.
