Title of Collection: Charter Online
Management and Performance System
(COMPS) CMO APR.
OMB Control Number: 1810–NEW.
Type of Review: A new ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 90.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 2,970.
Abstract: This request is for a new
OMB approval to collect the Annual
Performance Report (APR) data from
Charter School Programs (CSP)
Replication and Expansion of HighQuality Charter Schools (CMO) grantees.
The Charter School Programs (CSP) was
originally authorized under Title V, Part
B, Subpart 1, Sections 5201 through
5211 of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, as
amended by the No Child Left Behind
(NCLB) Act of 2001. For fiscal year 2017
and thereafter, ESEA has been amended
by the Every Student Succeeds Act
(ESSA), (20 U.S.C. 7221–7221i), which
reserves funds to improve education by
supporting innovation in public
education and to: (2) provide financial
assistance for the planning, program
design, and initial implementation of
charter schools; (3) increase the number
of high-quality charter schools available
to students across the United States; (4)
evaluate the impact of charter schools
on student achievement, families, and
communities, and share best practices
between charter schools and other
public schools; (5) encourage States to
provide support to charter schools for
facilities financing in an amount more
nearly commensurate to the amount
States typically provide for traditional
public schools; (6) expand opportunities
for children with disabilities, English
learners, and other traditionally
underserved students to attend charter
schools and meet the challenging State
academic standards; (7) support efforts
to strengthen the charter school
authorizing process to improve
performance management, including
transparency, oversight and monitoring
(including financial audits), and
evaluation of such schools; and (8)
support quality, accountability, and
transparency in the operational
performance of all authorized public
chartering agencies, including State
educational agencies, local educational
agencies, and other authorizing entities.
The U.S. Department of Education
(ED) is requesting authorization to
collect data from CSP grantees within
the CMO program through a new online
platform. In 2022, ED began
development of a new data collection
system, the Charter Online Management
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
and Performance System (COMPS),
designed specifically to reduce the
burden of reporting for users and
increase validity of the overall data.
This new collection consists of
questions responsive to the actions
established in the program’s final rule
published in the Federal Register on
July 6, 2022, as well as the CMO
program Notice Inviting Applications
(NIA). This collection request is a
consolidation of all previously
established program data collection
efforts and provides a more
comprehensive representation of grantee
performance.
