Abstract: In order to move America toward the goal of ensuring that every student in every public school has equitable access to excellent educators, Secretary Duncan announced in July 2014 that the U.S. Department of Education (Department) would ask each State educational agency (SEA) to submit a plan describing the steps it will take to ensure that ‘‘poor and minority children are not taught at higher rates than other children byinexperienced, unqualified, or out-offield teachers,’’ as required by section 1111(b)(8)(C) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) (hereinafter we use the term State Plan to mean only State Plans to Ensure Equitable Access to Excellent Educators.). Title I, Part A of the ESEA also requires a State educational agency (SEA) that receives a Title I, Part A grant to submit to the Secretary a plan, developed by the SEA, in consultation with local educational agencies, teachers, principals, pupil services personnel, administrators, other staff, and parents (ESEA section 1111(a)(1)). ED has developed the document titled State Plans to Ensure Equitable Access to Excellent Educators—Frequently Asked Questions to assist SEAs with submitting their State Plans, which
includes information collection activities covered by the Paperwork
Reduction Act. The information
collection activities consist of the information an SEA must develop and
submit to ED in their State Plans.

DOE may also consider other factors bearing on the public interest, including the impact of the proposed exports on the U.S. economy (including GDP, consumers, and industry), job creation, the U.S. balance of trade, and international considerations; and
whether the authorization is consistent with DOE’s policy of promoting competition in the marketplace by
