Abstract: Section 8302 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), permits each SEA, in consultation with the Governor, to apply for program funds through submission of a consolidated State plan or a consolidated State application (in lieu of individual program State plans). The purpose of consolidated State plans as defined in ESEA is to improve teaching and learning by encouraging greater cross-program coordination, planning, and service delivery; to enhance program integration; and to provide greater flexibility and less burden for State educational agencies.

Short Statement: In order to implement the new statutes in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Public Law 114-95, section 8302, the Department of Education has prepared two Notices of Proposed Rulemaking for new regulations (one for Accountability and State Plans, and the other for Assessments). These regulations increase burden for the consolidated State plan, also known as the consolidated State application. We estimate that the 52 States will spend a total of 23,300 burden hours per year on accountability systems, for a total cost of $928,000 per year. We also estimate that the 52 States will spend a total of 94,173 burden hours per year on assessment peer review of the State plans, for a total cost per year of $3,745,320. This means a total increase of 114,973 annual burden hours and $4,592,395.15 per year.
