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: 21st Century Community Learning Centers Annual 
Performance Report.
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0668.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,357.

    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, U.S. 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 a 
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.

    Dated: November 15, 2021.

Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning,
