Title of Collection: Annual Mandatory
Collection of Elementary and Secondary
Education Data for EDFacts.
OMB Control Number: 1875–0240.
Type of Review: Revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local or Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 55.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 116,325.
Abstract: The collection, use, and
reporting of education data is an integral
component of the mission of the U.S.
Department of Education (ED). EDFacts,
an ED initiative to put performance data
at the center of ED’s policy,
management, and budget decisionmaking processes for all K–12
educational programs, has transformed
the way in which ED collects and uses
data. EDFacts provides an electronic
submission system for state education
agencies (SEAs), and centralizes within
ED the availability of the performance
data supplied by SEAs to enable better
analysis and use in policy development,
planning, and management. ED is
currently in the process of collecting
data for the 2010–11, 2011–12, and
2012–13 school years as approved by
OMB (1875–0240). ED seeks another
three-year approval for this collection.
The proposed collection includes the
2013–14, 2014–15, and 2015–16 school
years. (As part of this approval, it
should be understood that ED is
authorized to collect the data about
these school years over whatever time is
required to secure complete and
accurate data from each state education
agency.) ED seeks OMB approval under
the Paperwork Reduction Act to collect
the elementary and secondary education
data from state education agencies as
described in the five sections of
Attachment B that document all of the
data groups. ED encourages the public
to review, at a minimum, Attachment C,
which outlines the changes between
what is currently collected and what is
newly proposed for collection. To the
extent that any of these proposed new
data groups are not available as of the
2013–14 school year, ED seeks to know
from the SEA data providers if those
data will be available in future years. If
information for a data group is not
currently available, please provide
information beyond the fact that it is not
available. Are there specific
impediments to providing this data that
you can describe? Is the definition for
the data group unclear or ambiguous?
Do the requested permitted values align
with the way your state collects the
data? This is very important information
because the collection of these data is
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703

mandatory. ED also seeks to know if the
SEA data definitions are consistent and
compatible with the EDFacts definitions
and accurately reflect the way data is
stored and used for education by state
education agencies. The answers to
these questions by the data providers
will influence the timing and content of
the final EDFacts proposal for the
collection of these data.
