SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act

early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. The 
OMB is particularly interested in comments which: (1) Evaluate whether 
the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (2) Evaluate the accuracy of 
the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
to be collected; and (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of 
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

    Agency Form Number(s): N/A.

    Abstract: Language Instruction Educational Program (LIEPs) refers 
to a systematic approach to the provision of services that support the 
development of English language proficiency and

[[Page 20347]]

academic achievement among English learners. This exploratory study 
will describe LIEP characteristics that may influence the quality of 
programs delivered to English Learners (EL) in grades K through 12. The 
major purpose of this project is to gather data from the field that 
yields an initial portrait of well-designed and implemented LIEPs, and 
to provide practical guidance to local educators on selecting, 
designing, implementing and evaluating LIEPs. This is important because 
before this, there have been no systematic attempts to determine the 
characteristics of LIEPs for ELs in kindergarten through grade 12 and 
to describe contextual factors that contribute to their effectiveness.
