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: Impact Study of Federally-Funded Magnet 
Schools.
    OMB Control Number: 1850-NEW.
    Type of Review: A new information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 101.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 53.
    Abstract: This Office of Management and Budget (OMB) package 
requests clearance for data collection activities to support a rigorous 
Impact Study of Federally-Funded Magnet Schools. The Institute of 
Education Sciences (IES) at the U.S. Department of Education (ED) has 
contracted with Mathematica Policy Research and its subcontractor, 
Social Policy Research Associates (SPR), to conduct this evaluation 
(ED-IES-17-C-0066). The evaluation includes an initial feasibility 
assessment, to determine whether an impact study can be conducted 
appropriately. First, the study team will interview fiscal year (FY) 
2016 and 2017 Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP) grantee 
districts and schools to gather detailed information on student 
recruitment and admissions policies and practices, paying particular 
attention to the use of randomized lotteries for student admissions. 
The feasibility phase will result in a brief describing how MSAP-funded 
schools recruit and select students for admission, a topic of interest 
to the program office. Second, if a sufficient number of students are 
being admitted to these schools through lotteries, the impact study 
will collect survey data from principals and district administrative 
records on admissions lotteries and student progress. The study would 
use these data to estimate the impacts of magnet schools on student 
achievement and diversity and to describe whether particular features 
of magnet schools are associated with greater success.

Acting Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Office of 
the Chief Privacy Officer, Office of Management.
