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.

Abstract: This information collection is used by the U.S.
Department of Education to gather State plans from eligible agencies
under the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act, as
amended by the Strengthening Career and Technical Education Act for the
21st Century Act (Pub. L. 115-224) (Perkins V or the Act). State plans
consist of narrative information, budgets, and performance levels
pursuant to the Act and applicable Federal regulations pursuant to the
Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) and Education Department General
Administrative Regulations (2 CFR 76). Eligible agencies are the State
boards, or sole State agencies, responsible for career and technical
education in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and
the outlying areas of the United States Virgin Islands, Guam, American
Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands, and the
Republic of Palau.
Perkins V authorizes appropriations from Fiscal Year (FY) 2019
through FY 2024. Section 122(a) of Perkins V requires each eligible
agency desiring assistance for any fiscal year under the Act to prepare
and submit to the Secretary a State plan for a 4-year period, together
with such annual revisions as the Act specifies or the eligible agency
deems necessary. Eligible agencies may submit a 4-year State plan or,
for FY 2019 only, a one-year transition plan followed by a 4-year plan.
An eligible agency also may submit its State plan as part of a Combined
State Plan under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act of 2014
(WIOA).
Dated: February 4, 2019.
