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: The College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) 
Annual Performance Report (APR).
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0727.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 40.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,600.
    Abstract: The College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) office 
staff collects information for the CAMP Annual Performance Report (APR) 
the data being collected is in compliance with Higher Education Act of 
1965, as amended, Title IV, Sec. 418A; 20 U.S.C. 1070d-2 (special 
programs for students whose families are engaged in migrant and 
seasonal farm work) (shown in appendix A), the Government Performance 
Results Act (GPRA) of 1993, Section 4 (1115) and the Education 
Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR), 34 CFR 75.253. 
EDGAR states that recipients of multi-year discretionary grants must 
submit an APR demonstrating that substantial progress has been made 
towards meeting the approved objectives of the project. In addition, 
EDGAR requires discretionary grantees to report on their progress 
toward meeting the performance measures established for the ED grant 
program. This data collection is a customized APR that goes beyond the 
generic 524B APR to facilitate the collection of more standardized and 
comprehensive data to inform GPRA, to improve the overall quality of 
data collected, and to increase the quality of data that can be used 
for evaluation and to inform policy decisions.
