FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For specific questions related to
collection activities, please contact Sarah Martinez, 202-260-1334.

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: Migrant Education Program Regulations and
Certificate of Eligibility.
OMB Control Number: 1810-0662.
Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individual or Households; State,
Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 132,846.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 564,400.
Abstract: This collection of information is necessary to collect
information under the Title I, Part C Migrant Education Program (MEP).
The MEP is authorized under sections 1301-1309 of Part C of Title I of
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended.
Regulations for the MEP are found at 34 CFR 200.81-200.89. This
information collection covers regulations with information collection
requirements which pertain to information that State educational
agencies (SEAs) must collect in order to properly administer the MEP:
34 CFR 200.83, 200.84, 200.88, and 200.89(b)-(d). Most provisions do
not require SEAs to submit the information collected to the Department,
with the exception of the provisions under 34 CFR 200.89(b).
The Department is requesting a revision to this currently approved
information collection in order to address changes to MEP eligibility
made

[[Page 16579]]

by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which reauthorizes and amends
the authorizing statute, ESEA. The changes to MEP eligibility criteria
must be reflected on the national Certificate of Eligibility (COE),
which is an information collection required by 34 CFR 200.89(c).
There was an overall reduction in SEA burden and responses. The
reduction in burden and responses was achieved not as a result of
deliberate Federal government action, but rather due to decreases in
the number of eligible migratory children, the number of SEAs
participating in the MEP, and the number of SEAs that the Department
expects will be required to implement retrospective re-interviewing.
The burden per respondent for the COE as described in 34 CFR 200.89(c)
remains the same because although some additional burden is incurred as
a result of the added questions (needed to demonstrate compliance with
the new statutory language in ESSA), there was an equivalent reduction
in burden achieved by the removal of previously included questions
(which were needed to demonstrate compliance with the statute, prior to
its amendment by ESSA). The annualized burden of 34 CFR 200.83, 200.84,
and 200.88 was changed due to those costs occurring at least once per
ESEA authorization period of four years (previously six years).
