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 collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be

Title of Collection: EDFacts Collection
of ESEA Flexibility Data.
OMB Control Number: 1875–NEW.
Type of Review: New.
Total Estimated Number of Annual

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Abstract: On September 23, 2011, the

invited each State educational agency
(SEA) to voluntarily request flexibility
on behalf of itself, its local educational

focus on improving student learning

instruction. Since then, ED has
approved 34 SEA requests for flexibility,
and is currently reviewing several
additional requests. ED expects to
receive requests from additional SEAs
by September 6, 2012. SEAs are invited
to request flexibility pursuant to the
authority in section 9401 of the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act of 1965 (ESEA), which allows the
Secretary of Education to waive, with
certain exceptions, any statutory or
regulatory requirement of the ESEA for
an SEA that receives funds under a
program authorized by the ESEA and
requests a waiver. This clearance
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
gaps, and holding schools, local
educational agencies, and SEAs
accountable for improving the academic
achievement of all students. This
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.
