    Abstract: This is a request for extension of a currently approved 
collection. The collection of this information is part of the 
government-wide effort to improve the performance and accountability of 
all federal programs, under the Government Performance and Results Act 
(GPRA) passed in 1993, the Uniform Guidance, and the Education 
Department General Administrative Requirements (EDGAR). Under GPRA, a 
process for using performance indicators to set program performance 
goals and to measure and

report program results was established. To implement GPRA, the 
Department developed GPRA measures at every program level to quantify 
and report program progress required by the Elementary and Secondary 
Education Act of 1965, as amended. Under the Uniform Guidance and 
EDGAR, recipients of federal awards are required to submit performance 
and financial expenditure information. The GPRA program level measures 
and budget information for the Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP) 
are reported in the Annual Performance Report (APR). The APR is 
required under 2 CFR 200.328 and 34 CFR 75.118 and 75.590. The annual 
report provides data on the status of the funded project that 
corresponds to the scope and objectives established in the approved 
application and any amendments. To ensure that accurate and reliable 
data are reported to Congress on program implementation and performance 
outcomes, the MSAP APR collects the raw data from grantees in a 
consistent format to calculate these data in the aggregate.
