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 response to this notice will be considered public records. Title of Collection: Study of School Climate Transformation Grants. OMB Control Number: 1875–NEW. Type of Review: A new information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 89. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 127. Abstract: This study examines how state departments of education and school districts that have received multiple federal grants coordinate the activities across those grants. U.S. Department of Education-funded School Climate Transformation Grants aim to improve school safety by supporting schools in the implementation of an evidence-based, multi-tiered system of behavioral support.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Information About IRIS

    EPA's IRIS Program is a human health assessment program that 
evaluates quantitative and qualitative risk information on effects that 
may result from exposure to chemicals found in the environment. Through 
the IRIS Program, EPA provides the highest quality science-based human 
health assessments to support the Agency's regulatory activities and 
decisions to protect public health. The IRIS database contains 
information on chemicals that can be used to support the first two 
steps (hazard identification and dose-response evaluation) of the human 
health risk assessment process. When supported by available data, IRIS 
provides health effects information and toxicity values for health 
effects (including cancer and effects other than cancer). Government 
and others combine IRIS toxicity values with exposure information to 
characterize public health risks of chemicals; this information is then 
used to support risk management decisions designed to protect public 
health.
