                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in
                accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
                3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with
                an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing
                collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact
                of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's
                reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's
                information collection requirements and provide the requested data in
                the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed
                information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The
                Department of Education is especially interested in public comment
                addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to
                the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be
                processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden
                accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility,
                and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the
                Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents,
                including through the use of information technology. Please note that
                written comments received in response to this notice will be considered
                public records.
                 Title of Collection: State Educational Agency and Local Educational
                Agency--School Data Collection and Reporting under ESEA, Title I, Part
                A.
                 OMB Control Number: 1810-0622.
                 Type of Review: Extension without changes of a currently approved
                collection.
                 Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
                 Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 52.
                 Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,080.
                 Abstract: Although the U.S. Department of Education (ED) determines
                Title I, Part A allocations for Local Educational Agencies (LEAs),
                State Educational Agencies (SEAs) must adjust ED-determined Title I,
                Part A LEA allocations to account for newly created LEAs and LEA
                boundary changes, to redistribute Title I, Part A funds to small LEAs
                (under 20,000 total population) using alternative poverty data, and to
                reserve funds for school improvement, State administration, and the
                State academic achievement awards program. This control number covers
                only the burden associated with the actual procedures an SEA must
                follow when adjusting ED-determined LEA allocations.
                 Dated: December 21, 2020.
