[[Page 8059]]

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 and Postsecondary Programs for 
Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) Evaluation Protocol.
    OMB Control Number: 1840-0825.
    Type of Review: A reinstatement of a previously approved 
information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 48.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,096.
    Abstract: In October 2015, the Institute for Community Inclusion 
(ICI), UMass Boston received a five-year cooperative agreement from the 
Office of Postsecondary Education to serve as the National Coordinating 
Center (NCC) for colleges and universities implementing inclusive 
higher education programs for students with intellectual disabilities, 
including 25 newly-funded model demonstration projects aimed at 
creating inclusive comprehensive transition and postsecondary programs 
for students with intellectual disabilities known as Transition and 
Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities 
(TPSIDs).
    To reduce respondent burden, the NCC has streamlined and simplified 
the previously approved evaluation system for the TPSID programs. The 
NCC will enhance the collection and analyses of longitudinal follow up 
data from the new 25 TPSID model programs via an already developed and 
previously OMB approved evaluation system for the TPSID programs. The 
revised data collection system is part of an evaluation effort. The 
system will collect program data at the institutions from TPSID program 
staff via an online, secure data management system.
