SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with 
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. 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. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed 
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The 
Department of Education 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: State Educational Agency and Local Educational 
Agency--School Data Collection and Reporting under ESEA, Title I, Part 
A
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0622.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 52.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,080.
    Abstract: Although the U.S. Department of Education (ED) determines 
Title I, Part A allocations for Local Educational Agencies (LEAs), 
State Educational Agencies (SEAs) must adjust ED-determined Title I, 
Part A LEA allocations to account for newly created LEAs and LEA 
boundary changes, to redistribute Title I, Part A funds to small LEAs 
(under 20,000 total population) using alternative poverty data, and to 
reserve funds for school improvement, State administration, and the 
State academic achievement awards program. This control number covers 
only the burden associated with the actual procedures an SEA must 
follow when adjusting ED-determined LEA allocations.
