Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 31 / Wednesday, February 15, 2012 / Notices
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires
that the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) provide interested
Federal agencies and the public an early
opportunity to comment on information
collection requests. The OMB is
particularly interested in comments
which: (1) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) Evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) Minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

Learned Guides.

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Total Estimated Annual Burden

Abstract: The purpose of this study is
to produce guides for the 21st Century
Community Learning Centers (21st
CCLC) program that will assist the U.S.
Department of Education (ED) staff in
providing technical assistance to
grantees on the following four topics: (1)
Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Math; (2) English Learners; (3) Career
and Technical Education; and (4)
structures to increase learning time. ED
will identify 21st CCLC subgrantees that
are implementing activities in a manner
that builds on scientific evidence, strong
management and organizational
practice, and data use; conduct visits to
individual sites operated by those
programs to investigate and document
the practices; and write a ‘‘lessons from
the field’’ guide for practitioners that
includes site descriptions and cross-site
analyses of good and innovative practice
that can help other 21st CCLC grantees
and subgrantees implement similar
programs.

Abstract: Title I, Part A of the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the
No Child Left Behind Act, and its
regulations contain several existing
provisions that require State educational
agencies (SEAs), local educational

agencies (LEAs), and schools to collect
and disseminate information. The
Paperwork Reduction Act covers these
activities, which are currently approved
by the Office of Management and
Budget under control number 1810–
0581 (expires April 30, 2012).
The U.S. Department of Education
(ED) has invited each SEA to request
flexibility on behalf of itself, its LEAs,
and schools, in order to better focus on
improving student academic
achievement and increasing the quality
of instruction (ESEA flexibility). As of
January 31, 2012, 40 SEAs have
indicated that they plan to request ESEA
flexibility. Of particular relevance to
this collection is ED’s expectation that,
overall, ESEA flexibility will result in
less burden on SEAs, LEAs, and schools
compared with current law absent this
flexibility. The burden estimate for this
collection is therefore substantially
lower than that of the currently
approved collection.
