The College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) office staff collects information for the CAMP Annual Performance Report (APR) in compliance with Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, Title IV, Sec. 418A; 20 U.S.C. 1070d-2 (special programs for students whose families are engaged in migrant and seasonal farm-work), and the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 2 CFR 200.238. CFR states that recipients of multi-year discretionary grants must submit an APR demonstrating that that substantial progress has been made towards meeting the approved objectives. The CAMP office staff requests to continue a customized APR that goes beyond the generic 524B APR to facilitate the collection of more standardized and comprehensive data to inform GPRA, to improve the overall quality of data collected, and to increase the quality of data that can be used to inform policy decisions.

OME has eliminated approximately 28% of the burden of the CAMP APR collection by (1) eliminating submission of the GPRA 1 Documentation Form, as the sum total of this information is reported in APR Section A; (2) reducing the burden of APR Section B, Project Student Participant Information, as the eliminated data did not inform OME or granteesâ decision-making as originally intended; and (3) reducing the burden of APR Section C, Project Services Information, as the eliminated data did not inform OME or granteesâ decision-making as originally intended. There is a program change decrease of -450 annual hours and an adjustment increase of 10 annual responses.
