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: Migrant Student
Information Exchange (MSIX).
OMB Control Number: 1810–0683.
Type of Review: A reinstatement of a
previously approved information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 17, 520.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 360, 491.
Abstract: The U.S. Department of
Education (ED) is proposing new
regulations to implement the Migrant
Student Information Exchange (MSIX), a
nationwide, electronic records exchange
mechanism mandated under Title I, Part
C of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act (ESEA), as amended by
the No Child left Behind Act. As a
condition of receiving a grant of funds
under the Migrant Education Program
(MEP), each State educational agency
(SEA) would be required to collect,
maintain, and submit minimum health
and education-related data to MSIX
within established timeframes. The
proposed regulations would facilitate
timely school enrollment, placement,
and accrual of secondary course credits
for migratory children and help us
determine accurate migratory child
counts and meet other MEP reporting
requirements. The MEP is authorized
under sections 1301–1309 in Title I, Part
C of the ESEA. MSIX and the minimum
data elements (MDEs) are authorized

specifically under section 1308(b) of the
ESEA.
This collection replaces the current
collection for the MSIX MDEs under
OMB No. 1810–0683. The burden hours
and costs associated with this data
collection are required to ensure that
States implement and utilize MSIX for
interstate migrant student records
exchange, which will then enable the
Department to meet the statutory
mandate in section 1308(b) of the ESEA
to facilitate the electronic exchange of
MDEs by SEAs to address the
educational and related needs of
migratory children. The information
collection addresses the following
statutory requirements in the ESEA:
Section 1304(b)(3), which requires SEAs
to promote interstate and intrastate
coordination of services for migratory
children, including providing
educational continuity through the
timely transfer of pertinent school
records (including health information)
when children move from one school to
another, whether or not the move occurs
during the regular school year. Section
1308(b)(1), which requires ED to assist
SEAs in providing for the electronic
transfer of migrant student records.
Section 1308(b)(2), which requires ED,
in consultation with SEAs, to ensure the
linkage of migrant student record
systems for the purpose of electronically
exchanging health and educational
information regarding migrant children
among States and determine the MDEs
that each SEA shall collect and maintain
for electronic exchange. Section 1309(2),
which provides the statutory definition
of a migratory child.

Title of Collection: Application for the
Rural Education Achievement Program
(REAP).
OMB Control Number: 1810–0646.
Type of Review: A reinstatement of a
previously approved information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 549.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 3,377.
Abstract: This data collection is
pursuant to the Secretary’s authority
under Part B of Title VI of the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act (ESEA), to award funds under two
grant programs designed to address the
unique needs of rural school districts—
the Small, Rural School Achievement
(SRSA) program (ESEA Section 6212)
and the Rural and Low-Income School
(RLIS) program (ESEA Section 6221).
Under the SRSA program, the Secretary
awards grants directly to eligible local
educational agencies (LEAs) on a
formula basis. Under the RLIS program,
eligible school districts are subrecipients of funds the Department
awards to State educational agencies
(SEAs) on a formula basis. For both
grant programs, the Department awards
funds based on a determination of the
eligibility of individual school districts
and the calculation of the allocation
each eligible district should receive
according to formula prescribed in the
statute. This data collection package
consists of two forms and related
documents that are used to accomplish
the grant award process each year: (1) A
spreadsheet used by SEAs to submit
information to identify RLIS and SRSAeligible LEAs and to allocate funds
based on the appropriate formula, and
(2) an application form for SRSAeligible LEAs to apply for funding. This
submission requests a three-year
extension of the current approved
collection package (OMB #1810–0646).
The REAP eligibility spreadsheet (Form
1) has no substantive changes or
revisions from the previously-approved
collection under OMB#1810–0646.
Similarly, the SRSA Application (Form
2) is essentially unchanged from the
previous collection. The instructions
accompanying both Form 1 and Form 2
remain unchanged from the previouslyapproved collection, except for minor
changes to update dates and contact
information. None of these changes
require SEAs to submit additional data.
