SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general
public and Federal agencies with an

requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is

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.

collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:

Abstract: This requests is for a new
information collection to approve a form

Loans held by the Department. This
information collection stems from the
common law legal principal of forgery,
which is not reflected specifically in the
Department’s statute or regulations, but
with which the Department must
comply.

Title of Collection: Study of Weighted
Student Funding Systems.
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: 125.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 189.
Abstract: The purpose of this study is
to examine districts that have
implemented weighted student funding
(WSF) systems. In doing so, the study
team will investigate how these systems
for funding schools have been
implemented, the benefits in terms of
enhanced school funding equity and
improved resource allocation practices
through more equitable distributions of
funding to schools and increased
principal autonomy, and the challenges
each district may have faced in
undertaking such a reform. To this end,
the study team will conduct site visits
to a set of nine case study districts that
will involve in-person interviews with
district officials and school staff
involved in WSF system administration.
In addition, the study team will collect
and review relevant extant data (budget
and audited expenditure files) and
administer surveys to a nationally
representative sample of principals and
school district administrators.
