early 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

its statutory obligations. The IC Clearance Official, Regulatory 
Information Management Services, Office of Management, publishes that 
notice containing proposed information collection requests prior to

collection, grouped by office, contains the following: (1) Type of

Office of Elementary and Secondary Education

    Type of Review: Extension.
    Title: State Educational Agency Local Educational Agency, and 
School Data Collection and Reporting under ESEA, Title I, Part A.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Gov't, SEAs or LEAs.
    Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:
    Responses: 43,285.
    Burden Hours: 6,688,814.
    Abstract: Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
Act, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act, requires State 
educational agencies (SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs), and 
schools to collect and disseminate information to document progress, 
inform parents and the public about school, district, and State 
educational performance, and provide services to students and teachers 
to help at-risk students meet challenging State achievement standards. 
The change in burden hours is primarily due to updated estimates of the 
time needed for SEA, LEA, and school implementation of statutory 
district and school improvement planning requirements and the statutory 
requirement that local educational agencies notify parents of eligible 
students in schools in improvement of their public school choice and 
supplemental educational services option. The estimate also reflects 
hours for new final regulations 200.6(b)(4)(i)(c) and hours for the 
preparation of SEA and LEA report cards.
