SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that

is described below. 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

Title of Collection: Formula Grant
EASIE Annual Performance Report.
OMB Control Number: 1810–NEW.
Type of Review: A new information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 1,300.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 20,800.
Abstract: The purpose of Indian
Education Formula Grant to Local
Agencies, as authorized under title VII,
part A, subpart 1 of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as
amended sections 7111–7119, 20 U.S.C.
7421–7429 is to assist applicants to
provide Indian students with the
opportunity to meet the same
challenging state standards as all other
students and meet the unique
educational and culturally related
academic needs of American Indian and
Alaska Native students. The Indian
Education Formula Grant (CFDA
84.060A) is not competitive or
discretionary and requires the annual
submission of the application from
either a local education agency (LEA)
and/or tribe. The amount of the award
for each applicant is determined by a
formula based on the reported number
of American Indian/Alaska Native
students identified in the application,
the state per pupil expenditure, and the
total appropriation available. The 524B
Annual Performance Report (APR) was
designed for discretionary grants,
however the title VII program is a
formula grant program. Therefore, the
EASIE APR goes beyond the generic
524B APR and facilitates the collection
of more specific and comprehensive
data due to grantees entering project
specific data into an online database.
This will allow for a comparison of
LEAs across objectives. By entering
information into the EASIE APR
database, data will be able to be
generated quickly and uniformly to
E:\FR\FM\24MRN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 56 / Tuesday, March 24, 2015 / Notices
facilitate data collection, as required
under 34 CFR 75.720, and 2 CFR part
200.301. This APR will improve the
quality of data collected that can be
used for evaluation and to help make
policy decisions, reduce burden on the
grantees, and allow ED to inform
Congress on the outcomes of this grant
program.

Title of Collection: Transition to
Teaching Survey.
OMB Control Number: 1855–0018.
Type of Review: An extension of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 144.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 42.
Abstract: This is a request for
approval to collect information from
Transition to Teaching (TTT) grantees
that will be used to describe the extent
to which local education agencies that
received TTT grant funds have met the
goals relating to teacher recruitment and
retention described in their application.
TTT grantees are funded for a period of
five years. Currently, grantees are
required by statute to submit an interim
project evaluation to the Department of
Education (ED) at the end of the third
project year and a final project
evaluation at the project’s end. In turn,
the TTT program is required to prepare
and submit to the Secretary and to
Congress interim and final program
evaluations containing the results of

these grantee project evaluation reports.
An analysis of these reports has
provided some data on grantee
activities, prior to the usage of the TTT
survey, missing or incomplete data
made it difficult to aggregate data across
grantees in order to accurately describe
to Congress the extent of program
implementation. This data collection
allows ED to gather data on a common
set of indicators across grantees in order
to describe and improve program
implementation with the end goal of
improving program performance.
