SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in

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: Survey on the Use of Funds Under Title II,
Part A: Supporting Effective Instruction Grants--Subgrants to LEAs.
OMB Control Number: 1810-0618.
Type of Review: A reinstatement of a previously approved
information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 4,326.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 8,577.
Abstract: The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as
reauthorized by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA), provides
funds to States to prepare, train, and recruit high-quality teachers,
principals, and other school leaders. These funds are provided to
districts through Title II, Part A (Supporting Effective Instruction
Grants). The purpose of these surveys is to provide the U.S. Department
of Education with a better understanding of how local educational
agencies (LEAs) utilize these funds. This survey also collects data on
teacher salaries funded by Title II, Part A, and professional
development provided by LEAs to their teachers.
Similar data have been collected under the Survey on the Use of
Funds Under Title II, Part A prior to reauthorization of ESEA. This OMB
clearance request is to continue these types of analyses, but using new
data collection instruments updated to reflect changes due to the
reauthorization of ESEA by the ESSA. The request is to begin data
collection and analyses for the 2018-19 school year and subsequent
years.
