    Abstract: Regulations for the Migrant Information Exchange (MSIX), 
effective on June 9, 2016, were issued by the U.S. Department of 
Education (the Department). The MSIX, a nationwide, electronic records 
exchange mechanism mandated under Title I, Part C of the Elementary and 
Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended. As a condition of receiving 
a grant of funds under the Migrant Education Program (MEP), each State 
educational agency (SEA) is required to collect, maintain, and submit 
minimum health and education-related data to MSIX within established 
timeframes. MSIX is designed to facilitate timely school enrollment, 
grade and course placement, accrual of secondary course credits and 
participation in the MEP for migratory children. Additionally, the 
regulations help the Department to determine accurate migratory child 
counts and meet other MEP reporting requirements. The MEP is authorized 
under sections 1301-1309 in Title I, Part C of the ESEA, as amended. 
MSIX and the minimum data elements (MDEs) are authorized specifically 
under section 1308(b) of the ESEA, as amended.
    The Department is requesting approval to extend the 1810-0686 
information collection that supports statutory requirements for data 
collection under Title I, Part C--MEP. The purpose of the MSIX User 
Application Form is to collect user directory data to verify the 
identity of users in order to grant access to the MSIX system for the 
purpose of transferring migratory student data. The application 
collects information on an MSIX users' identity, title/position, work 
address, work telephone, email, and role in MSIX.
