the preferred alternative, Alternative 2,
identified in the 2012 FSEIS/SOEIS for
SURTASS LFA sonar.

request is for the collection of data that
may be needed to ensure that SEAs
receiving ESEA flexibility are
continuing to meet the intent and
purpose of Title I of ESEA, including
meeting the educational needs of lowachieving students, closing achievement

accountable for improving the academic

collection will be applicable to SEAs
with approved flexibility plans. In order
to reduce burden on SEAs and
maximize the availability and utility of
the data within ED, ED plans to require
states to submit these data electronically
through EDFacts, as allowable under 34
CFR part 76. ‘‘Flexibility Clearance
Attachment B’’ outlines the 22 new data
groups proposed for collection. ED is
requesting SEAs to review the last page
of Attachment B which provides two
directed questions (see the link to
EDICSweb to link number 04860 in the
Addresses section above.) ED is
requesting the data providers of each
SEA respond to two specific questions
about the proposed data groups.
Responses to these questions will help
ED determine whether or not to adjust
the proposed data groups, as well as to
determine which of the data can
currently be provided by SEAs.
