SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in

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: Charter Schools Program (CSP) Grant Award 
Database.
    OMB Control Number: 1855-0016.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 81.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 139.
    Abstract: This request is for an extension of OMB approval to 
collect data for the Charter Schools Program (CSP) Grant Awards 
Database. This current data collection is being coordinated with the 
EDFacts Initiative to reduce respondent burden and fully utilize data 
submitted by States and available to the U.S. Department of Education 
(ED). Specifically, under the current data collection, ED collects CSP 
grant award information from grantees (State agencies, charter 
management organizations, and some schools) to create a new database of 
current CSP-funded charter schools. Together, these data allow ED to 
monitor CSP grant performance and analyze data related to 
accountability for academic purposes,
