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.

and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins IV) (20 U.S. C. 2301 et 
seq. As amended by P.L. 109-270). OCTAE staff will determine each 
State's compliance with basic provisions of Perkins IV and the 
Education Department General Administrative Regulations (34 CFR Park

whether, and to what extent, each State has met its State adjusted 
levels of performance for the core indicators described in section

the appropriate committees of Congress copies of annual reports 
received by the Department from each eligible agency that receives 
funds under the Act.
