Abstract: The Department requests to revise the collection tool for one year in order to gather State Plans and annual revisions under Perkins V and makes the following changes: This information collection solicits from all eligible States and outlying areas the State plans required under Title I of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006, as amended by the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century (Perkins V). The revision to this collection instrument removes the cover letter, removes the requirements and instructions related to submission of Perkins V State Plans in FY 2019 and FY 2020. The Department recognized that it would take time for eligible agencies to update their CTE systems, policies, and programs to align with the requirements of Perkins V after it was signed into law on July 31, 2018. As such, eligible agencies had the option of submitting a 1- Year Transition Plan in FY 2019 or a Perkins V State Plan that covered 5 years from FY 2019 to FY 2023. Some background information regarding the submission or original State Plans was maintained for historical context, but much of the information related to these original options is no longer relevant as states prepare annual revisions. This revision removes the requirement that eligible agencies submit local formula allocations as part of State Plan revisions in subsequent years. Local formula allocation information is collected annually as part of the OMB-approved Perkins V Consolidated Annual Report (CAR) – (OMB Control Number 1830-0569). The revised tool adds a budget line item related to the percent of funds made available to serve individuals in “other” State institutions. Perkins V requires that eligible agencies make funds available to serve individuals in State institutions, such as (1) State correctional institutions, (2) juvenile justice facilities, and (3) educational institutions that serve individuals with disabilities. Some states provide funds to State institutions beyond the three types of institutions explicitly identified in Perkins V and therefore an additional “other” line item is needed to collect this information. The revised collection also changes references to fiscal years (FYs) to program years (PYs) on the section V.B State Determined Performance Levels (SDPL) Form to reduce confusion among grantees as they set SDPL targets that align to performance data that is ultimately reported based upon program year.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The number of burden hours for eligible agencies to respond to this information collection has decreased from the previous approved collection due to agency discretion. For the previously approved information collection tool, we calculated a three-year average for burden hours that included one year with a larger number of burden hours with an expectation that eligible agencies would be developing a new State plan that aligned to the new statute in the first two years of the new statute’s implementation. For this revision of the information collection tool, we are requesting only a one-year approval. Further, we anticipate fewer burden hours used for review and revision of the state plan and the annual budget. Because the burden hour estimate is comparable to the third year of the previously approved collection, the burden hour estimate is comparable to the last year’s burden estimate for the previously approved collection.
