SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in

an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing

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: Survey on the Use of Funds Under Title II, 
Part A (SEA Uses of Funds).
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0711.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 52.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 260.
    Abstract: This SEA survey helps the Department of Education 
understand how SEAs use their allocated Title II, Part A funds. In 
addition, many States have adopted new college- and career-ready 
standards and assessments and new educator evaluation systems; this 
survey provides insight into whether states are using title II, part A 
funds to support these goals. The survey also allows the Department to 
assess whether SEAs are using title II, part A funds to carry out their 
approved plans for equitable access to excellent educators.
