Please note that written comments received in response to this notice will be considered public records. Title of Collection: Evaluation of the REL Southeast Early Literacy Toolkit. OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW. Type of Review: A new ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,330. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 322. Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education is supporting the development and evaluation of a toolkit that will support the implementation of effectively differentiated reading instruction for students in grades K–3. This toolkit is based on evidence-based recommendation in the Assisting Students Struggling with Reading: Response to Intervention (RtI) and Multi-Tier Intervention in the Primary Grades practice guide. The evaluation will rigorously test the efficacy of the toolkit in improving explicit instruction, classroom management, and use of student data as well as student learning outcomes in grades K–3 English language arts. The evaluation will use a blocked randomized control trial design in which districts are blocks and schools are randomly assigned to receive the toolkit or not. The evaluation will be conducted in 20 Florida schools during the 2025/26 school year. The evaluation will focus on measuring the toolkit’s impact on three teacher-level outcomes: explicit instruction, classroom management, and data use to inform instruction during small group time. The evaluation also will examine the impact of the toolkit on students’ foundational reading skills. In addition to collecting data to measure teacher and student outcomes, the evaluation team will collect data to document the implementation of the toolkit in treatment schools and the VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:09 Jun 10, 2024 Jkt 262001 service contrast between treatment and control schools, and to describe the characteristics of participating schools, teachers, and students at baseline. The evaluation will produce a publicly available report that summarizes evaluation findings. The findings from the evaluation will inform further refinement of the toolkit, to be released to the public after the evaluation. Dated: June 6, 2024.

Abstract: The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), established the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program, and the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program under Title IV, Parts B and D respectively. The HEA provides for a maximum loan amount that a borrower can receive per year and in total. If a borrower receives more than the maximum amount, the borrower becomes ineligible for further Title IV aid (including Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Federal WorkStudy, and Teacher Education Assistance for Higher Education (TEACH) Grants, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants) unless the borrower repays the excess amount or agrees to repay the excess amount according to the terms and conditions of the promissory note that the borrower signed. Agreeing to repay the excess amount according to the terms and conditions of the promissory note that the borrower signed is called reaffirmation, which is the subject of this collection. This renewal without change of the information collection is necessary for the Department of Education (the Department), as a holder of some FFEL Program loans and all Direct Loans, and all FFEL Program lenders to capture the borrowers formal E:\FR\FM\11JNN1.SGM 11JNN1
