opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing 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, 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: Evaluation of the
Innovative Assessment Demonstration
Authority Pilot Program-Preliminary
Activities.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: A new information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 60.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 120.
Abstract: This study will meet the
Congressional mandate to evaluate the
Innovative Assessment Demonstration
Authority Pilot Program (IADA). The
program (Title I, Section 1204 of the
Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA)
allows the U.S. Department of
Education to exempt a handful of states
from certain testing requirements if they
agree to pilot new types of assessments.
The study will produce a ‘‘Progress
Report’’ and a ‘‘Best Practices Report,’’
as mandated by Congress. The Progress
Report will be based on existing
documents from pilot states. The
subsequent Best Practices Report will
add, via surveys, the perspectives of
district leaders, principals, and teachers
on the development, implementation,
and outcomes of IADA assessments.
These reports will help the Department
appropriately target its technical
assistance to tackle the largest barriers
to adequate progress in pilot states, and
provide a valuable guide for other states
