(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;

Title of Collection: Charter Online
Management and Performance System
(COMPS) SE Grant Profile.
OMB Control Number: 1810–NEW.
Type of Review: New ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 40.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 320.
Abstract: This request is for a new
OMB approval to collect the Grant
Profile data from Charter School
Programs (CSP) State Entity (SE)
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
DATES:

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 SE 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 SE 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.
