Please note that written comments received in response to this notice will be considered public records. 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.
