OMB Control Number: 1850–0729. Type of Review: A reinstatement of a previously approved information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 4,242. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 905. Abstract: The Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B), conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), part of the U.S. Department of Education, examines students’ education and work experiences after they complete a bachelor’s degree, with a special emphasis on the experiences of school teachers. The B&B-eligible cohort is initially identified in the National Postsecondary Study Aid Study (NPSAS). The first cohort (B&B:93) was identified in NPSAS:93, and consisted of students who received their bachelor’s degree in the 1992–93 academic year. The second cohort (B&B:2000) was selected from the NPSAS:2000, and the third cohort (B&B:08) was selected from NPSAS:2008, which became the base year for follow-up interviews in 2009 and 2012. The B&B:08/18 data collection will be the third and final follow-up for the third cohort of the B&B series (OMB# 1850–0729). The fourth cohort of baccalaureate recipients (B&B:16/17), identified in NPSAS:2016, is entering full-scale data collection in 2017 (OMB# 1850–0926). This request is to conduct the B&B:08/18 field test in 2017, which will collect data from B&B:08 sample members after they were first surveyed 10 years earlier. The B&B:08/18 field test includes several data collection experiments and will VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:11 Apr 04, 2017 Jkt 241001 inform the materials and procedures for the full-scale B&B:08/18 to be conducted in 2018.

OMB Control Number: 1810–0662. Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individual or Households; State, Local, and Tribal Governments. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 132,846. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 564,400. Abstract: This collection of information is necessary to collect information under the Title I, Part C Migrant Education Program (MEP). The MEP is authorized under sections 1301– 1309 of Part C of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended. Regulations for the MEP are found at 34 CFR 200.81– 200.89. This information collection covers regulations with information collection requirements which pertain to information that State educational agencies (SEAs) must collect in order to properly administer the MEP: 34 CFR 200.83, 200.84, 200.88, and 200.89(b)– (d). Most provisions do not require SEAs to submit the information collected to the Department, with the exception of the provisions under 34 CFR 200.89(b). The Department is requesting a revision to this currently approved information collection in order to address changes to MEP eligibility made E:\FR\FM\05APN1.SGM 05APN1 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 64 / Wednesday, April 5, 2017 / Notices by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which reauthorizes and amends the authorizing statute, ESEA. The changes to MEP eligibility criteria must be reflected on the national Certificate of Eligibility (COE), which is an information collection required by 34 CFR 200.89(c). There was an overall reduction in SEA burden and responses. The reduction in burden and responses was achieved not as a result of deliberate Federal government action, but rather due to decreases in the number of eligible migratory children, the number of SEAs participating in the MEP, and the number of SEAs that the Department expects will be required to implement retrospective re-interviewing. The burden per respondent for the COE as described in 34 CFR 200.89(c) remains the same because although some additional burden is incurred as a result of the added questions (needed to demonstrate compliance with the new statutory language in ESSA), there was an equivalent reduction in burden achieved by the removal of previously included questions (which were needed to demonstrate compliance with the statute, prior to its amendment by ESSA). The annualized burden of 34 CFR 200.83, 200.84, and 200.88 was changed due to those costs occurring at least once per ESEA authorization period of four years (previously six years).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in

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,

    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.

    Abstract: This collection of information is necessary to collect 
information under the Title I, Part C Migrant Education Program (MEP). 
The MEP is authorized under sections 1301-1309 of Part C of Title I of 
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended. 
Regulations for the MEP are found at 34 CFR 200.81-200.89. This 
information collection covers regulations with information collection 
requirements which pertain to information that State educational 
agencies (SEAs) must collect in order to properly administer the MEP: 
34 CFR 200.83, 200.84, 200.88, and 200.89(b)-(d). Most provisions do 
not require SEAs to submit the information collected to the Department, 
with the exception of the provisions under 34 CFR 200.89(b).
    The Department is requesting a revision to this currently approved 
information collection in order to address changes to MEP eligibility 
made

by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which reauthorizes and amends 
the authorizing statute, ESEA. The changes to MEP eligibility criteria 
must be reflected on the national Certificate of Eligibility (COE), 
which is an information collection required by 34 CFR 200.89(c).
    There was an overall reduction in SEA burden and responses. The 
reduction in burden and responses was achieved not as a result of 
deliberate Federal government action, but rather due to decreases in 
the number of eligible migratory children, the number of SEAs 
participating in the MEP, and the number of SEAs that the Department 
expects will be required to implement retrospective re-interviewing. 
The burden per respondent for the COE as described in 34 CFR 200.89(c) 
remains the same because although some additional burden is incurred as 
a result of the added questions (needed to demonstrate compliance with 
the new statutory language in ESSA), there was an equivalent reduction 
in burden achieved by the removal of previously included questions 
(which were needed to demonstrate compliance with the statute, prior to 
its amendment by ESSA). The annualized burden of 34 CFR 200.83, 200.84, 
and 200.88 was changed due to those costs occurring at least once per 
ESEA authorization period of four years (previously six years).
