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.

    Note: OESE requests public comment on a non-substantive change 
to an existing collection approved under 1810-0576 currently running 
a separate comment period under ED-2017-ICCD-0021. OESE is seeking 
OMB approval to use these non-substantive changes to the assurances 
data collection instrument by May 17, 2017. You may provide comments 
to the assurances template under 1810-0576 ED-2017-ICCD-0054 by May 
5, 2017. Please note that written comments received in response to 
this notice will be considered public records.

    Title of Collection: Consolidated State Plan Assurances Template.
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0576.
    Type of Review: Non-substantive change to an existing collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 52.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 108,155.
    Abstract: On March 9, 2017, pursuant to the Congressional Review 
Act (CRA) (5 U.S.C. 801-808), Congress approved a joint resolution 
disapproving the U.S. Department of Education's (Department's) 
regulations related to State plans, including consolidated State plans, 
statewide accountability systems, and data reporting. The President 
signed the Congressional resolution on March 27, 2017, which means that 
the regulations have no force or effect. As a result, the Department 
updated the assurances that each State must submit in order to receive 
FY 2017 funding to align only with the statutory assurances required in 
ESEA Section

8304. The revised assurances template includes an annotated version of 
ESEA Section 8304 which specifically references consultation 
requirements and two certifications that SEAs are assuring to by 
completing the assurances template. Finally, we included a reference, 
with no associated burden, to other approved forms the SEA will need to 
complete.
