    Title of Collection: Comprehensive Literacy Program Evaluation: 
Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) Program Evaluation
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0945.
    Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved 
ICR.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households; State, 
Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 612.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 331.
    Abstract: The Institute of Education Sciences within the U.S. 
Department of Education requests an extension of the Comprehensive 
Literacy Program Evaluation: Comprehensive Literacy State Development 
Grant Program (1850-0945, approved on February 26, 2021). The extension 
is to complete the collection of state administrative data. The 
extension is needed because the state administrative data for the 2022-
23 school year will not be ready to collect prior to the February 29, 
2024 expiration date in all 13 CLSD grantee states. No material change 
in the collection instrument, instructions, frequency of collection, or 
use of information is being requested.
    The Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) Program 
Evaluation was mandated by Congress. The CLSD evaluation includes an 
examination of implementation, a randomized trial to estimate the 
impact of CLSD funding on teacher and student outcomes, and a 
longitudinal comparison of trends in achievement in CLSD and similar, 
non-CLSD schools. With the exception of the state administrative data 
collection--for which this extension is being requested--all other data 
collection for the study previously approved (including state 
interviews, district, school leader, and teacher surveys) have been 
completed.
