The purpose of this information collection package--the Consolidated Annual Report (CAR)is to gather narrative, financial and performance data as required by the reauthorized Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins IV) (20 U.S. C. 2301 etseq. As amended by P.L. 109-270). OCTAE staff will determine each States compliance with basic provisions of Perkins IV and the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (34 CFR Park 80.40 [Annual Performance Report] and Part 80.41 [Financial Status Report]). OCTAE staff will review performance data to determine whether, and to what extent, each State has met its State adjusted levels of performance for the core indicators described in section 113(b)(4) of Perkins IV. Perkins IV requires the Secretary to provide the appropriate committees of Congress copies of annual reports received by the Department from each eligible agency that receives funds under the Act.
There is a program change reduction of -1130 burden hours, the burden hours decreased due to the elimination of the option to complete and submit Microsoft Excel reporting forms to the website and mailing a hard paper copy of the entire package to the Department.
