assistance as well as State-specific and comprehensive reports that will update the public and Congress about Race to the Top. It is in the public interest to present the data in a timely manner.

Additional Information: Pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(2)(iii), the Department is requesting emergency approval as the use of the normal clearance procedures will disrupt the timely collection of the information critical for managing the performance of Race to the Top grants and effectiveness. This is the first year of implementation of a $4 billion dollar program, the largest discretionary grant program ever administered by the Department. As a result, the program continues to generate high public interest.

If the routine paperwork processing timeline is followed, the Race to the Top Annual Performance Report data collection tool will not be released until August. Given that many LEAs begin the school year in August; this timing would create an undue burden on the LEAs and on the State. During the process of developing the Race to the Top Annual Performance Report, we elicited feedback from grantees regarding the timing of collection. Based on that feedback, we believe that a June timeframe would best meet the needs of the grantees and the Department.
