Title I, Part A (Title I) of the
Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended
by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA), and its
regulations contain several provisions that require State
educational agencies (SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs), and
schools to collect and disseminate information. The Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) covers these activities. The previous
authorization of the ESEA contained information collection
requirements which are currently approved by OMB under control
number 1810-0581. The Department has revised the regulations
implementing Title I of the ESEA, as amended by the ESSA, including
changes to 34 CFR sections 200.30 through 200.37, which affect the
burden estimates in this information collection.
The burden changes reflected in
this statement are a result of revised regulations based on changes
in statute following the passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act
(ESSA) on December 10, 2015, which amended the ESEA.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
