Title of Collection: Mandatory Civil
Rights Data Collection
OMB Control Number: 1870–0504
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local and Tribal Governments
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 17, 620
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 1,520,260
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 education
programs, has transformed the way in
which ED collects and uses data. For
school years 2009–10 and 2011–12, the
Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) was
approved by OMB as part of the EDFacts
information collection (1875–0240). For
school years 2013–14 and 2015–16, the
Office for Civil Rights (OCR) cleared the
CRDC as a separate collection from
EDFacts. OCR used the most current
EDFacts information collection
approved by OMB (1875–0240) as a
model for the 2013–14 and 2015–16
CRDC information collection that was
approved by OMB (1870–0504) in
February 2014. Similarly, the currently
proposed revised CRDC information
collection for school year 2015–16 is
modeled after the most recent OMBapproved EDFacts information
collection. Except for a few data
elements that were revised based on
recommendations received from various
school districts and advice received
from experts across ED, the currently
proposed CRDC information collection
for school year 2015–16 is identical to
the information collection for school
year 2015–16 that was approved by
OMB in February 2014. As with
previous CRDC collections, the purpose
of the 2015–16 CRDC is to obtain vital
data related to the civil rights laws’
requirement that public local
educational agencies and elementary
and secondary schools provide equal
educational opportunity. ED seeks OMB
approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act to collect from school
districts, the elementary and secondary
education data described in the sections
of Attachment A.
