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

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: Credit Enhancement for Charter School 
Facilities Program Performance Report.
    OMB Control Number: 1855-0010.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 34.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 850.
    Abstract: The Credit Enhancement for Charter School Facilities 
Program and its virtually identical antecedent program, the Charter 
Schools Facilities Financing Demonstration Program, are authorized as 
part of the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
Act to have a statutory mandate for an annual report (respectively, 
Section 5227 and Section 10227). This reporting is a requirement in 
order to obtain or retain benefits according to section 5527 part b of 
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. ED will use the 
information through this report to monitor and evaluate competitive 
grants. These grants are made to private, non-profits; governmental 
entities; and consortia of these organizations. These organizations 
will use the funds to leverage private capital to help charter schools 
construct, acquire, and renovate school facilities.
