Abstract: This request is for an extension of OMB approval to collect data for the Charter Schools Program (CSP) Grant Awards 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). Specifically, under the current data collection, ED collects CSP grant award information from grantees (State agencies, charter management organizations, and some schools) to create a new database of current CSP-funded charter schools. Together, these data allow ED to monitor CSP grant performance and analyze data related to accountability for academic purposes, financial integrity, and program effectiveness.

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an overall increase in annual reporting burden. The total burden from the previous request was 98 hours. The new burden is 139 annual hours at a total cost of $7,007. In 2010, the CSP program commenced a new grant competition to support non-profit charter management organizations in replicating or expanding high-quality charter schools. This new competition, which is a program change due to agency discretion, increased the number of respondents by 22, increased the burden hours by 14.17, and increased the costs by $680. At the same time, there is an adjustment increase. The reason for this adjustment is two-fold: The number of respondents has changed, and 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. The adjustment increased the number of SEA and non-SEA respondents (17), the burden hours (27.22), and the costs ($1352).
