    Abstract: This information collection request revises the 1810-0727 
College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) Annual Performance Report 
(APR) collection. These changes include language replacements, 
removals, and additions intended to ensure compliance with 34 CFR 
75.110 and OMB Circular A-110, improve clarity of instructions and data 
collection, and remove duplicative language. Substantive changes 
include the addition of a data element related to mode of instruction 
and the removal of a data element related to the SAT and ACT. For a 
complete list of revisions, please see the attached summary, which will 
be shared with the public and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as 
a supplemental document.
    The Office of Migrant Education (OME) collects information for the 
CAMP, which is authorized under Title IV, Section 418A of the Higher 
Education Act of 1965, as amended by Section 408 of the Higher 
Education Opportunity Act (HEOA)(20 U.S.C. 1070d-2) (special programs 
for students whose families are engaged in migrant and seasonal 
farmwork), and 2 CFR 200.328, which requires that recipients of 
discretionary grants submit an APR to best inform improvements in 
program outcomes and productivity.
    Although the Education Department continues to use the generic 
524B, the OME requests continued use of a customized APR that goes 
beyond the generic 524B APR to facilitate the collection of more 
standardized and comprehensive data to inform performance measure 
indicators, to improve the overall quality of data collected, and to 
increase the quality of
