an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing

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

processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden 
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility,

including through the use of information technology. Please note that 
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered

    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.

    Abstract: Each year since 1982, the U.S. Department of Education's

honor public and private elementary, middle and high schools based on 
their overall academic excellence or their progress in closing 
achievement gaps among different groups of students. The Program is 
part of a larger U.S. Department of Education effort to identify and 
disseminate knowledge about best school leadership and teaching 
practices.
