Management Services, Office of
Management, publishes that notice
containing proposed information
collection requests prior to submission
of these requests to OMB. Each
proposed information collection,
grouped by office, contains the
following: (1) Type of review requested,
e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or
reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of
the collection; (4) Description of the
need for, and proposed use of, the
information; (5) Respondents and
frequency of collection; and (6)
Reporting and/or Recordkeeping
burden. OMB invites public comment.
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.

Abstract: Originally authorized under
Title X, Part I, of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act, the program
was initially administered through the
U.S. Department of Education, which
provided grants directly to over 1,825
grantees. With the reauthorization of the
program under the No Child Left Behind
Act, direct administration of the
program was transferred to state
education agencies (SEA) to administer
their own grant competitions.
Preliminary data shows that states have
awarded approximately 1,400 grants to
support more than 4,700 centers in
every state in the country. The purpose
of the 21st Century Community
Learning Centers program (21st CCLC)
program, as reauthorized under Title IV,
Part B, of the No Child Left Behind Act
of 2001, 4201 et seq., (20 U.S. Code 7171
et seq.), is to provide expanded
academic enrichment opportunities for
children attending low-performing
schools. To reflect the changes in the
authorization and administration of the
21st CCLC program and to comply with
its reporting requirements, the
Education Department (ED) is
requesting authorization for the
collection of data through Web-based,
data-collection modules, the Annual
Performance Report, the Grantee Profile,
the Competition Overview, and the
State Activities module, which
collectively will be housed in an
application called the 21st CCLC Profile
and Performance Information Collection
System (PPICS). The data will continue
to be used to fulfill ED’s requirement
under the Government Performance and
Results Act (GPRA) to report to
Congress annually on the
implementation and progress of 21st
CCLC projects and the use of state
administrative and technical assistance
funds allocated to the states to support
the program. The data collection will

also provide SEA liaisons with needed
descriptive data about their grantees and
allow SEA liaisons to conduct
performance monitoring and identify
areas of needed technical assistance.
