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: Native Hawaiian Education and Alaska Native 
Education Annual Performance Report.
    OMB Control Number: 1810-NEW.
    Type of Review: New Collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 102.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 510.
    Abstract: This is a request for a new Annual Performance Report 
(APR) information collection for the Title VI, Part B of the ESEA 
(Native Hawaiian Education), Title VI, Part C of the ESEA (Alaska 
Native Education), and Title XI, Section 11006 of the American Rescue 
Plan Act of 2021. The information shared with the Rural, Insular, and 
Native Achievement Program (RINAP) division will help ensure Native 
Hawaiian and Alaska Native Education program grantees make progress 
toward meeting program goals and objectives. Information collected will 
also inform the selection and delivery of technical assistance to 
grantees, allowing RINAP to better monitor the connection between grant 
administration and intended outcomes. Collection of APR information 
will also allow RINAP to proactively engage with grantees to identify 
potential compliance issues ahead of more comprehensive monitoring, 
decreasing the need for enforcement action and minimizing burden for 
grantees.
