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

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: Consolidated Annual Report (CAR) for the Carl 
D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006.
    OMB Control Number: 1830-0569.
    Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 53.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 12,632.
    Abstract: This information collection is used by the U.S. 
Department of Education to gather annual performance and financial data 
from eligible agencies under the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical 
Education Act of 2006 as amended by the Strengthening Career and 
Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Pub. L. 115-224). We are 
proposing to revise the ICR to remove the option to report enrollment 
and performance data via the EDFacts system, amend the Fiscal 
Responsibility section of the Narrative Performance Report to collect 
additional data about subgrants and their recipients, and to make 
clarifying changes to some of the instructions.

    Dated: July 20, 2021.

PRA Coordinator, Strategic Collections and Clearance, Governance and 
Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning, 
Evaluation and Policy Development.
