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 that written comments received in response to this notice will be considered public records. Title of Collection: Data Collection for the Evaluation of the REL Appalachia Teaching Math to Young Children Toolkit. OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW. Type of Review: A new ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 6,720. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 697. Abstract: Mathematics knowledge acquired in early childhood provides a critical foundation for long-term student success in math as well as reading (Duncan et al., 2007; Watts et al., 2014), but the professional development (PD) and curricular support for preschool teachers often lack specific content and training on high-quality math instruction delivered by math content experts. To address this problem, the REL Appalachia toolkit development team is developing a toolkit to provide preschool teachers with support in implementing core teaching practices essential to promoting early math skills and knowledge in children. The toolkit is based on the Teaching Math to Young Children IES practice guide (Frye et al., 2013) and is being developed in collaboration with state and district partners in Virginia. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:57 Jan 12, 2024 Jkt 262001 IES requests clearance for data collection instruments and the collection of district administrative data for an efficacy study of the toolkit as part of the REL Appalachia (REL AP) contract. The study will assess the efficacy of the professional development resources included in the toolkit. The evaluation will also assess how teachers implement the toolkit to provide context for the efficacy findings and guidance to improve the toolkit and its future use. The evaluation will take place in 50 schools across approximately 10 school divisions in Virginia and focus on mathematics teaching practices and student mathematics knowledge and skills in preschool classrooms. The purpose of this study will be to measure the efficacy and implementation of the REL AP developed toolkit designed to improve teacher practice and preschool students’ math learning outcomes. The toolkit evaluation will produce a report for district and school leaders who are considering strategies to improve math learning in preschool. The report will be designed to help them decide whether and how to use the toolkit to help them implement the practice guide recommendations. Dated: January 10, 2024.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 52. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,080. Abstract: We are requesting a threeyear extension of the current paperwork clearance package (OMB number 1810– 0622) related to State educational agency (SEA) procedures for adjusting title I, part A local educational agency (LEA) allocations determined by the U.S. Department of Education (ED). Title I, part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA), requires ED to allocate Basic Grants, Concentration Grants, Targeted Grants, and Education Finance Incentive Grants directly to LEAs. (See sections 1124(a)(2), 1124A(a), 1125(a), (b), and (c)(2), and 1125A(c) and (d)(1)((B), (2)(B), and (3)(B) of the statute at https://uscode.house.gov/browse/ prelim@title20/chapter70/subchapter1/ partA&edition=prelim.) Title I, part A allocations are based primarily on poverty data provided by the Census Bureau and reflect a national list of LEAs that is generally two years old. For example, the list of LEAs used for calculating school year (SY) 2023–2024 allocations is based on LEAs that existed in SY 2021–2022. Because the list of LEAs used by ED in determining LEA allocations does not match the current universe of LEAs in many States, SEAs must adjust EDs allocations to account for district boundary changes and newly-created LEAs that are eligible for title I, part A funds but did not receive an allocation under ED calculations.

If the licensee of such a project has not filed an application for a subsequent license, then it may be required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b), to continue project operations until the Commission issues someone else a license for the project or otherwise orders disposition of the project.

    Title of Collection: SEA Procedures for Adjusting ED-Determined 
Title I Allocations to Local Education Agencies (LEAs).

    Abstract: We are requesting a three-year extension of the current 
paperwork clearance package (OMB number 1810-0622) related to State

Concentration Grants, Targeted Grants, and Education Finance Incentive 
Grants directly to LEAs. (See sections 1124(a)(2), 1124A(a), 1125(a),

based primarily on poverty data provided by the Census Bureau and 
reflect a national list of LEAs that is generally two years old. For 
example, the list of LEAs used for calculating school year (SY) 2023-
2024 allocations is based on LEAs that existed in SY 2021-2022. Because 
the list of LEAs used by ED in determining LEA allocations does not

LEAs that are eligible for title I, part A funds but did not receive an 
allocation under ED calculations.
