Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 13, 2011 / Notices
Abstract: This Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) package requests
clearance for data collection, analysis,
and reporting activities from 50 states
and the District of Columbia, and
approximately 134 districts and 1,200
schools as part of an evaluation of Race
to the Top (RTT) and School
Improvement Grants (SIG). The
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act contained substantial funding for
systemic education reform. This
included $4 billion in RTT grants,
which were awarded to 11 states and
the District of Columbia based both on
their education reform plans and their
past success in creating the conditions
for reform, and $3 billion in additional
funding for SIG, which is aimed at
implementing one of four School
Turnaround Models (STMs) in the
lowest-performing schools. The
evaluation is designed to (1) study the
implementation of RTT and SIG; (2)
analyze the impact of SIG- or RTTfunded STMs on student outcomes
using a regression discontinuity design;
(3) analyze the relationship between
receipt of RTT funds and student
outcomes using an interrupted time
series design; and (4) investigate the
relationship between STM turnaround
models (and strategies within those
models) and student outcomes in lowperforming schools. This OMB package
follows a previously approved package
for recruitment activities (#1850–0884),
and includes data collection forms, and
burden estimates of the number of
respondents and hours of response time.

Abstract: This request is for renewal
of Office of Management and Budget
approval to collect data necessary for
the Charter Schools Program (CSP)
Grant Award Database. The CSP is
authorized under Title V, Part B,
Subpart 1, Sections 5201 through 5211
of the Elementary and Secondary Act
(ESEA) of 1965, as amended by the No
Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Under
Title V, Part B, Section 5205 of the
ESEA, the Secretary reserves CSP funds
to carry out national activities to
provide charter schools with
information, to evaluate and study
charter schools, and to provide other
types of technical assistance. This data
collection is coordinated with the
EDFacts initiative to reduce respondent
burden and fully utilize data submitted
by States and available to the U.S.
Department of Education (ED) through
the Education Data Exchange Network
(EDEN). Under the current data
collection, ED collects CSP grant award
information from grantees (State
agencies and some schools) for a
database of current CSP-funded charter
schools and award amounts; ED merges
performance information extracted from
the EDEN database with the database of
CSP-funded charter schools. Together,
these data allow ED to monitor CSP
grant performance and analyze data
related to accountability for academic
performance, financial integrity, and
program effectiveness.

Note: This program is in concert with
NIDRR’s currently approved long range plan
(the Plan). The Plan is comprehensive and
integrates many issues relating to disability
and rehabilitation research topics. The Plan,
which was published in the Federal Register

quality and utility of disability and
rehabilitation research; (2) foster an
exchange of expertise, information, and
training to facilitate the advancement of
knowledge and understanding of the
unique needs of traditionally
underserved populations; (3) determine
the best strategies and programs to
improve rehabilitation outcomes for
underserved populations; (4) identify
research gaps; (5) identify mechanisms
of integrating research and practice; and
(6) disseminate findings.
Priorities: This competition contains
one absolute priority and two
invitational priorities. In accordance
with 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(ii), the
absolute priority is from the regulations
for this program (34 CFR 356.10).

collection, ED collects CSP grant award information from grantees
(State agencies and some schools) for a database of current CSP-funded
charter schools and award amounts; ED merges performance information
extracted from the EDEN database with the database of CSP-funded
charter schools. Together, these data allow ED to monitor CSP grant
performance and analyze data related to accountability for academic
performance, financial integrity, and program effectiveness.
