DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Department of Education. 

SUMMARY: The Leader, Information 

Policy and Standards Team, Regulatory 

Information Management Services, 

Office of Management invites comments 

on the submission for OMB review as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. OMB may amend or 

waive the requirement for public 

consultation to the extent that public 

participation in the approval process 

would defeat the purpose of the 

information collection, violate State or 

Federal law, or substantially interfere 

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The Leader, 

Information Policy and Standards Team, 

Regulatory Information Management 

Services, Office of Management, 

publishes that notice containing 

proposed information collection 

requests prior to submission of these

Type of Review: Revision. 

Title: Annual Mandatory Collection of 

Elementary and Secondary Education 

Data for the Education Data Exchange 

Network (EDEN). 

Frequency: Annually.

Abstract: The Education Data 

Exchange Network (EDEN) is in the 

implementation phase of a multiple year 

effort to consolidate the collection of 

education information about States, 

Districts, and Schools in a way that 

improves data quality and reduces 

paperwork burden for all of the national 

education partners. To minimize the 

burden on the data providers, EDEN 

seeks the transfer of the proposed data 

as soon as it has been processed for 

State, District, and School use. These 

data will then be stored in EDEN and 

accessed by federal education program 

managers and analysts as needed to 

make program management decisions. 

This process will eliminate redundant 

data collections while providing for the 

timeliness of data submission and use. 

Additional Information: The 

Department of Education is specifically 

requesting the data providers in each 

State Education Agency review the 

proposed data for availability, 

consistency with state data definitions, 

and appropriate use. Our responses to 

the public comments that were 

submitted in May and June are found in 

Attachment E. There are two additional 

issues state data providers are asked to 

address. 

The Department proposes collecting 

the EDEN data groups from the Civil 

Rights Survey directly from the districts 

in 2006 as it has historically collected 

that data. It is the Department’s intent 

to move this data collection into the 

EDEN Submission System in the future 

and ask state education agencies to 

submit the data for their districts. The 

Department plans to specify in the 

2007–2008 EDEN paperwork 

submission request that all civil rights 

data groups and categories be included 

in the EDEN Submission System 

beginning with the 2007–2008 school 

year. During a transition period through 

2009–2010, the Department may 

continue to use the Web-based EDEN 

Survey Tool or other mechanism to 

collect these data directly from districts 

in those states that are unable to report 

required civil rights items from the SEA 

level through EDEN. The Department 

would like to know what challenges this 

decision will put on the states and how 

the Department might work with the 

states to mitigate any problems. 

In response to the public comment 

regarding the challenges of submitting 

the whole EDEN data set and the need 

to prioritize the EDEN data and focus on 

the submission of the most important 

and useful data, the Department has 

developed a prioritized phase-in plan to 

the states that is presented in 

Attachment B of the EDEN 2006–2007 

data collection package. All EDEN data 

will still need to be submitted within 

the two-year transition period but the 

expectation to submit will be adjusted 

based on which data is most available 

and most highly required by the 

Department. The EDEN Submission 

System will receive all requested EDEN 

data from every state that can submit 

any EDEN data from the 2006–2007 

school year. The Department would like 

to know if this adjustment will help the 

States make more timely submissions of 

EDEN data and if States agree with the 

prioritization of the data groups. 

In this issue of the Federal Register 

the Department is publishing Proposed 

Guidance on Maintaining, Collecting, 

and Reporting Data on Race and 

Ethnicity to the U.S. Department of 

Education. Data on race and ethnicity in 

the format outlined in the proposed 

guidance will be required to be reported 

to ED no later than the 2009–2010 

school year. Those States that can 

provide it sooner are encouraged to do 

so. Since this guidance may directly and 

immediately affect the collection of 

EDEN data, the Department encourages 

relevant public comment on the impact 

of this guidance on the collection of 

EDEN data as part of this EDEN 

paperwork clearance process.
