ACTION: Notice; correction. AGENCY: On February 8, 2019, we published in the Federal Register (FR) a notice inviting applications (NIA) for fiscal year (FY) 2019 for the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP), Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number 84.149A. This notice corrects the national target pertaining to a performance measure that applies to this program. DATES: Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: April 9, 2019. Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: June 10, 2019. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carla Kirksey, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Room 3E337, Washington, DC 20202. Telephone: (202) 260–2114. Email: carla.kirksey@ed.gov. SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:13 Mar 26, 2019 Jkt 247001 If you use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) or a text telephone (TTY), call the Federal Relay Service (FRS), toll free, at 1–800–877– 8339. On February 8, 2019, we published in the Federal Register an NIA for this program (84 FR 2835) that identified national targets for CAMP Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) performance measures. Additionally, we posted an application package for the program on the Department’s website at https:// www2.ed.gov/programs/camp/fy19camp-application.pdf and Grants.gov. Since that time, we have discovered that the CAMP NIA incorrectly identifies the national target for GPRA measure 2, the percentage of CAMP participants who, after completing the first academic year of college, continue their postsecondary education, as 85 percent for FY 2019. The correct national target for GPRA measure 2 is 90 percent for FY 2019. Additionally, the CAMP application package instructions incorrectly identify the GPRA measure 2 as 85 percent on page 60; the application package instructions, however, correctly identify the CAMP GPRA measure 2 as 90 percent on page 8 of the application package. We previously announced in the publicly available CAMP FY 2017 Program Performance Report that the CAMP GPRA measure 2 is 90 percent for FY 2019. We are publishing this correction notice to clarify that the CAMP GPRA measure 2 remains 90 percent for FY 2019. Applicants that have already submitted timely applications may submit a revised application that contains the correct national target for CAMP GPRA measure 2, but are not required to do so. Applicants that have already submitted timely applications and do not submit a revised application will still be expected to meet the correct national target for CAMP GPRA measure 2 identified in this notice. Instructions for submitting an application can be found in the NIA. Correction: In FR Document 2019– 01701, on page 2839, in the first column, in the second paragraph of the section entitled ‘‘Performance Measures,’’ we replace ‘‘The national target for GPRA measure 2 for FY 2019 is that 85 percent of CAMP participants continue their postsecondary education after completing the first academic year of college’’ with ‘‘The national target for GPRA measure 2 for FY 2019 is that 90 percent of CAMP participants continue their postsecondary education after SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 completing the first academic year of college.’’ Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1070d–2.

Title of Collection: National Teacher and Principal Survey of 2020–2021 VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:13 Mar 26, 2019 Jkt 247001 (NTPS 2020–21) Preliminary Field Activities. OMB Control Number: 1850–0598. Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 10,525. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,322. Abstract: The National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS), conducted biennially by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is a system of related questionnaires that provides descriptive data on the context of elementary and secondary education. Redesigned from the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) with a focus on flexibility, timeliness, and integration with other ED data, the NTPS system allows for school, principal, and teacher characteristics to be analyzed in relation to one another. NTPS is an in-depth, nationally representative survey of first through twelfth grade public and private school teachers, principals, and schools. Kindergarten teachers in schools with at least a first grade are also surveyed. NTPS utilizes core content and a series of rotating modules to allow timely collection of important education trends as well as trend analysis. Topics covered include characteristics of teachers, principals, schools, teacher training opportunities, retention, retirement, hiring, and shortages. The next administration of NTPS was originally planned for 2019–20 and the NTPS 2019–20 preliminary activities were approved in October 2018 with a change request approved in February 2019 (OMB# 1850–0598 v.24–25). However, due to staffing shortages at NCES, NCES had to delay the NTPS 2019–20 administration by one year, to the 2020–21 school year. No changes are planned to the materials and procedures approved for NTPS preliminary activities (OMB# 1850–0598 v.24–25), besides delaying all activities by one year. This request provides the dates, procedures, and materials for NTPS 2020–21 preliminary activities. After NTPS 2020–21, NCES plans to administer the next NTPS three years later, during the 2023–24 school year. Following the 2023–24 administration, NTPS is expected to be conducted every 2 years if resources allow. PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11533 Dated: March 21, 2019.
