    Abstract: On March 14, 2022, The Department published in the 
Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Priorities, Requirements, 
Definitions, and Selection Criteria for the Charter School Programs' 
State Entities program, Charter School Management Organizations 
program, and Developer program (Vol. 87, No. 49, pages 14197-14210). 
Specifically, the Department proposed two new priorities and 
accompanying application requirements, definitions, and selection 
criteria for applicants proposing to create results-driven policies to 
help promote positive student outcomes, student and staff diversity, 
educator and community empowerment, promising practices, and 
accountability, including fiscal transparency and responsibility, in 
charter schools supported with CSP funds, which can serve as models for 
other charter schools. The Charter School Programs Office of the 
Department is requesting a new information collection through a 
community impact analysis and around contracts with for profit charter 
education organizations due to this rulemaking for the CSP program 
authorized under Title VI, Part C, Subpart 1, of the Elementary and 
Secondary Education Act, as amended by ESSA. The CSP Grants (CFDA 
84.282 including SE 84.282A, CMO 84.282M, and Developer (84.282B and 
E)) program is a competitive discretionary grant program. The grant 
applications submitted for this program are evaluated based on how well 
an applicant addresses the selection criteria and are used to determine 
applicant eligibility and amount of award for projects selected for 
funding.
