SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) requires that Federal agencies provide 
interested parties an early opportunity to comment on information 
collection requests. The Director, Information Collection Clearance 
Division, Privacy, Information and Records Management Services, Office 
of Management, publishes this notice containing proposed information 
collection requests at the beginning of the Departmental review of the 
information collection. 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

    Abstract: There are two GPRA performance objectives and six 
performance measures for SLP grantees. The two GPRA performance 
objectives are: To recruit, prepare, and support individuals from 
education or other fields to become principals or assistant principals 
of schools in high-need local educational agencies (LEAs) and to train 
and support principals and assistant principals from schools in high-
need LEAs in order to improve their skills and increase retention. Most 
grantees will report on the GPRA measures for only one of the 
objectives because most grantees focus on either recruiting and 
training new principals and assistant principals or providing training 
to currently practicing principals and assistant principals. The SLP 
APR is a customized APR that goes beyond the ED 524B APR; this data 
collection is requested to facilitate the collection of more 
standardized and comprehensive data to address the program's GPRA 
measures, to improve the overall quality of data collected, and to 
increase the quality of data that can be used to inform policy 
decisions.
