    Title of Collection: 21st Century Community Learning Centers Annual 
Performance Report.
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0668.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.

    Abstract: The purpose of the 21st Century Community Learning 
Centers (21st CCLC) program, as authorized under Title IV, Part B, of 
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every 
Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) (20 U.S.C. 7171-7176) is to create 
community learning centers that provide academic enrichment 
opportunities for children, particularly students who attend high 
poverty and low-performing schools, to meet State and local student 
standards in core academic subjects, to offer students a broad array of 
enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic 
programs, and to offer literacy and other educational services to the 
families of participating children. Present in all 50 states, the 
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, and the Bureau of 
Indian Education, academic enrichment and youth development programs 
are designed to enhance participants' well-being and academic success. 
The Department of Education (ED) is requesting authorization for an 
extension with revision to collect data for 21st CCLC programs. The 
core purpose is to collect information on the Government Performance 
and Results Act (GPRA) performance indicators associated with the 21st 
CCLC program to report to Congress annually on the implementation and 
progress of 21st CCLC projects. All elements collected serve to meet 
the reporting requirements of the GPRAs. These metrics delivered in the 
form of an Annual Performance Report (APR) are the primary way the 
federal government determines the success and progress of the 21st CCLC 
program based on the statutory requirements.
