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.

amended
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 grantees’
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 grantees’ decision-making as originally
intended. There is a program change decrease of -450 annual hours
and an adjustment increase of 10 annual responses.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
