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: Transition to Teaching Evaluation.
    OMB Control Number: 1855-0018.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 42.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 42.
    Abstract: This is a request for approval to collect information 
from Transition to Teaching (TTT) grantees that will be used to 
describe the extent to which local education agencies that received TTT 
grant funds have met the goals relating to teacher recruitment and 
retention described in their application. TTT grantees are funded for a 
period of five years. Currently, grantees are required by statute to 
submit an interim project evaluation to the Department of Education 
(ED) at the end of the third project year and a final project 
evaluation at the project's end. In turn, the TTT program is required 
to prepare and submit to the Secretary and to Congress interim and 
final program evaluations containing the results of these grantee 
project evaluation reports. An analysis of these reports has provided 
some data on grantee activities, prior to the usage of the TTT survey, 
missing or incomplete data made it difficult to aggregate data across 
grantees in order to accurately describe to Congress the extent of 
program implementation. This data collection allows ED to gather data 
on a common set of indicators across grantees in order to describe and 
improve program implementation with the end goal of improving program 
performance.
