information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The 
Department of

[[Page 55524]]

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)

    Title of Collection: EDFacts Data Collection School Years 2019-20, 
2020-21, and 2021-22 (with 2018-19 continuation).
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0925.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State Education Agency.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 61.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 126,880.
    Abstract: EDFacts is a U.S. Department of Education (ED) 
initiative, conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics 
(NCES), to collect, analyze, report on, and promote the use of high-
quality, pre-kindergarten through grade 12 (pre-K-12) performance data 
and state level postsecondary data for Perkins V for use in education 
planning, policymaking, and management and budget decision making to 
improve outcomes for students. By centralizing data provided by state 
education agencies about state level data, local education agencies, 
and schools, NCES uses the EDFacts data to report on students, schools, 
staff, services, and education outcomes at the state, district, and 
school levels. The centralized approach provides ED users with the 
ability to efficiently analyze and report on submitted data and has 
reduced the reporting burden for state and local data producers through 
the use of streamlined data collection, analysis, and reporting tools. 
EDFacts collects information on behalf of ED grant and program offices 
for approximately 150 data groups for all 50 states, Washington DC, 
Puerto Rico, and seven outlying areas and freely associated states 
(American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Marshall 
Islands, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Republic of 
Palau, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), the Department of Defense 
Education Activity (DoDEA), and the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE). 
This request is to collect EDFacts data for the 2019-20, 2020-21, and 
2021-22 school years and to expand the EDFacts data collection to 
include state level postsecondary data for the Strengthening Career and 
Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V). This 
collection package will be available for public comment during two open 
periods, a 60 day and a 30 day, after which revisions will be made 
accordingly. As part of the public comment period review, ED requests 
that SEAs and other stakeholders respond to the directed questions 
found in Attachment D. Due to overlap in the timing of data collection 
activities between consecutive years of the EDFacts collection, we are 
carrying over in this submission the approved SY 2018-19 data 
collection, which is scheduled to end in February 2020.

    Dated: November 1, 2018.
Kate Mullan,
Acting Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Office of 
the Chief Privacy Officer, Office of Management.
