[Docket No.: ED-2015-ICCD-0127]


Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment Request; 
Mathematics and Science Partnerships Program

AGENCY: Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), Department 
of Education (ED).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. chapter 3501 et seq.), ED is proposing a revision of an existing 
information collection.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before 
January 4, 2016.

ADDRESSES: To access and review all the documents related to the 
information collection listed in this notice, please use http://www.regulations.gov by searching the Docket ID number ED-2015-ICCD-
0127. Comments submitted in response to this notice should be submitted 
electronically through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov by selecting the Docket ID number or via postal 
mail, commercial delivery, or hand delivery. Please note that comments 
submitted by fax or email and those submitted after the comment period 
will not be accepted. Written requests for information or comments 
submitted by postal mail or delivery should be addressed to the 
Director of the Information Collection Clearance Division, U.S. 
Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW., LBJ, Room 2E115, 
Washington, DC 20202-4537.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For specific questions related to 
collection activities, please contact Inas El-Sabban, (202) 205-3810.

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: Mathematics and Science Partnerships Program.
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0669.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.

[[Page 67392]]

    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Government.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 450.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 4,500.
    Abstract: This supporting statement serves as an update to approved 
OMB package 1810-0669. Implemented under the No Child Left Behind Act 
of 2001, Title II, Part B, the Mathematics and Science Partnerships 
(MSP) program is a formula grant program strategically designed to 
improve the content knowledge of teachers and the academic performance 
of students in mathematics and science. By funding collaborative 
partnerships between science, technology, engineering, and mathematics 
(STEM) departments at institutions of higher education (IHEs), and 
high-need school districts, the MSP program enables the delivery of 
intensive, content-rich professional development intended to improve 
classroom instruction and, ultimately, to raise student achievement in 
math and science.
    Because MSP is a formula grant program, the size of individual 
state awards is based on student population and poverty rates, with no 
state receiving less than one half of one percent of the total 
appropriation. Each state is then responsible for administering a 
competitive grant making process to determine the distribution of funds 
across proposed MSP projects.
