accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the

    Abstract: This package requests approval to conduct semi-structured 
interviews with 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) 
state coordinators in states which received the optional Elementary and 
Secondary Education Act (ESEA) waiver to use 21st CCLC funds for 
expanded learning time (ELT). The interviews will be used to produce a 
descriptive report, which will summarize how states plan to use 21st 
CCLC funds to support ELT, the process for awarding 21st CCLC funds to 
support ELT, and how states will monitor subgrantees' ELT 
implementation.
