    Title of Collection: Comprehensive Literacy Program Evaluation: 
Striving Readers Implementation Study.
    OMB Control Number: 1850-NEW.
    Type of Review: A new information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households; State, 
Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 4,824.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,082.
    Abstract: The data collection described in this submission includes 
activities associated with the legislatively mandated evaluation of the 
Striving Readers Comprehensive Literacy (SRCL) program. The purpose of 
this evaluation is to provide information to policymakers, 
administrators, and educators regarding the implementation of the SRCL 
program, including grant award procedures, technical assistance, 
continuous improvement procedures, and literacy interventions at the 
school level. Data collection will include interviews with state-level 
grantees and district administrators; school principals, reading 
specialists, and teachers; and teacher surveys. In addition, the study 
team will conduct site visits to 50 schools and observe instruction in 
100 classrooms using SRCL-funded literacy interventions, however the 
study team does not request clearance for these observations, which 
impose no burden. The study team also will collect and review grantee 
and subgrantee applications and comprehensive literacy plans.

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