    Title of Collection: National Implementation Study of Student 
Support and Academic Enrichment Grants (Title IV, Part A).
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0968.
    Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 358.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 176.
    Abstract: This study will collect information about policy and 
program implementation of the grants administered under Title IV, Part 
A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by 
the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), to describe and report on 
districts' decision-making process for use of Title IV, Part A funds, 
how states help inform districts' decisions, and what topic areas and 
activities are funded with Title IV, Part A funds. The revision will 
amend the study to eliminate an optional survey planned for 2024 and 
add a new information collection. The new collection will obtain 
information about a new grant administered through Title IV-A, the 
Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) Stronger Connections (SC) grant 
program, which awards funds to states and districts to promote safer, 
more inclusive learning environments and support the social, emotional, 
physical, and mental health of students.

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