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: There is an adjustment in the number of responses and burden. The number of responses for parents has decreased from 230,000 to 150,800 for an adjustment decrease of 79,200. The number of burden hours for parents has decreased from 116,650 to 76,775 for an adjustment decrease of 39,875. The number of responses for SEAs remains the same: 47. The number of burden hours for SEAs has decreased from 291,983 to 201,818 for an adjustment decrease of 90,165. Causing a total annual reduction in respondents of 79,201 and total annual burden of 130,040 hours. In 2011 a bypass contractor was used but this will not be the case moving forward. This reduced the respondents by one and eliminated their burden hours which totalled 17,211 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 and decreases in the number of SEAs that the Department expects will be required to implement retrospective re-interviewing, as described in 200.89(b)(1).
