    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 20.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 600.
    Abstract: This is a request for an extension of an approved 
information collection to collect the Annual Performance Report (APR) 
for the Statewide Family Engagement Centers (SFEC) program. There is an 
increase in the number of respondents and total burden hours due to an 
adjustment to the estimated number of respondents. The collection of 
this information is part of the government-wide effort to improve the 
performance and accountability of all federal programs. Under the 
Uniform Guidance and EDGAR, recipients of federal awards are required 
to submit performance and financial expenditure information. The 
program-level performance measures and budget information for the SFEC 
program are reported in the APR. The APR is required under 2 CFR 
200.328 and 34 CFR 75.118 and 75.590. It provides data on the status of 
funded projects that correspond to the scope and objectives established 
in the approved applications and any amendments. To ensure that 
accurate and reliable data are reported to Congress on program 
implementation and performance outcomes, the SFEC APR collects data 
from grantees in a consistent format to calculate these data in the 
aggregate.
