public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Magnet Schools
Assistance Program—Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA)
Table Form.
OMB Control Number: 1855–0025.
Type of Review: An extension of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 116.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 58.
Abstract: The collection of this
information is part of the governmentwide effort to improve the performance
and accountability of all federal
programs, under the Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA)
passed in 1993, the Uniform Guidance,
and EDGAR. Under GPRA, a process for
using performance indicators to set
program performance goals and to
measure and report program results was
established. To implement GPRA, ED
developed GPRA measures at every
program level to quantify and report
program progress required by the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act of 1965, as amended. Under the
Uniform Guidance and EDGAR,
recipients of federal awards are required
to submit performance and financial
expenditure information. The GPRA
program level measures and budget
information for the Magnet Schools
Assistance Program (MSAP) are
reported in the Annual Performance

Report (APR). The APR is required
under 2 CFR 200.328 and 34 CFR 75.118
and 75.590. The annual report provides
data on the status of the funded project
that corresponds to the scope and
objectives established in the approved
application and any amendments. To
ensure that accurate and reliable data
are reported to Congress on program
implementation and performance
outcomes, the MSAP APR collects the
raw data from grantees in a consistent
format to calculate these data in the
aggregate.

collection request for extension as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. The information collection
requests a three-year extension with
changes to Form EIA–63C, Densified

Control Number 1905–0209. Form EIA–
63C collects data on wood pellet fuel
and other densified biomass fuel
production, sales, and inventory levels
from U.S. manufacturing facilities of
densified biomass fuel products for the
purpose of estimating densified biomass
fuel consumption in the United States,
as well as production, sales, and
inventory at state, regional, and national
levels.
DATES: EIA must receive all comments
on this proposed information collection
no later than July 26, 2018. If you
anticipate any difficulties in submitting
your comments by the deadline, contact
the DOE Desk Officer at 202–395–0710.

have to answer the following six
questions:

and to:

EIA also removed the requirement to
report quantity, characteristics,
inventory, and revenue data on
compressed fuel logs, bricks and
briquettes from on questions 3.3, 3.4
and 4.1.
Finally, the due date for annual
respondents (small biomass fuel
manufacturers having a capacity of less
than 10,000 tons per year or planned
facilities) to report is changed from
February 1 to June 1 to coincide with
the industry’s off-season and ease their
reporting burden during the heating
season which is their busiest time of the
year. Respondents that need to file
annually will only need to report
limited data in Parts 1 and 2 of the form;
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 108;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 1,065;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 1,467;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: The cost of
the burden hours is estimated to be
$111,026 (1,467 burden hours times
$75.69 per hour). EIA estimates that
there are no additional costs to
respondents associated with the survey
other than the costs associated with the
burden hours.
