(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the
general public and Federal agencies
with an 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. The
Department is soliciting comments on
the proposed information collection
request (ICR) that is described below.
The Department 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

Abstract: This request is for a new
OMB approval to collect the Annual
Performance Report (APR) data from
Charter School Programs (CSP)
Developer 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 Developer program through a new
online platform. In 2022, ED began
development of a new data collection
system, the Charter Online Management
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 Developer
program Notice Inviting Applications
E:\FR\FM\29AUN1.SGM

efforts and provides a more
comprehensive representation of grantee
performance.

Abstract: The Office of Special
Education Program’s Personnel
Development Program aims to increase
the supply of qualified personnel in the
field of special education. The program
awards competitive grants to
Institutions of Higher Education to
support scholars who are preparing to
provide special education and related
services to children and youth with
disabilities. Scholars who receive
funding agree to work in the field of
special education or related services for
two years for each year of support they
receive.
The Personnel Development Program
Data Collection System collects data
from grantees, scholars, and employers
who verify that scholars are employed
in the field of special education or
related services. This data collection
serves three program needs. First, data
from grantees, scholars, and employers
are necessary to assess the performance
of the Personnel Development Program
on its performance measures. Second,
data from all three sources are necessary
to determine if scholars comply with the
service obligation requirements. Finally,
project-specific performance data are
collected from grantees for project
monitoring and program improvement.
