DATES:
Section

statutory obligations. The IC Clearance
Official, Regulatory Information
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

Title: 21st Century Community
Learning Centers Annual Performance
Report.
Frequency: Annually.
Affected Public: Not-for-profit
institutions; State, Local, or Tribal
Gov’t, SEAs or LEAs.

Burden:

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 (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.
