application package requires the use of 

the following forms: SF–424, SF–424A, 

SF–424B, SF–LLL, CD–346,and CD–511.

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Prior notice and opportunity for 

public comment are not required by the 

Administrative Procedure Act or any 

other law for rules concerning grants, 

benefits, and contracts (5 U.S.C. 553(a)). 

Because notice and opportunity for 

comment are not required pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. 553 or any other law, the 

analytical requirements of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 

et seq.) are inapplicable. Therefore, a 

regulatory flexibility analysis has not 

been prepared.

2007. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be addressed to the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Attention: Education Desk Officer, 

Office of Management and Budget, 725 

17th Street, NW., Room 10222, 

Washington, DC 20503. Commenters are 

encouraged to submit responses 

electronically by e-mail to

include the following subject line in 

their response ‘‘Comment: [insert OMB 

number], [insert abbreviated collection 

name, e.g., ‘‘Upward Bound 

Evaluation’’]. Persons submitting 

comments electronically should not 

submit paper copies. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) provide interested 

Federal agencies and the public an 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 law, or substantially interfere 

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The IC Clearance 

Official, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of 

Management, publishes that notice 

containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission 

of these requests to OMB. Each 

proposed information collection, 

grouped by office, contains the 

following: (1) Type of review requested, 

e.g., new, revision, extension, existing 

or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary 

of the collection; (4) Description of the 

need for, and proposed use of, the 

information; (5) Respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6) 

Reporting and/or Recordkeeping 

burden. OMB invites public comment.

Title: The Effect of Connected 

Mathematics 2 (CM2) on the Math 

Achievement of Middle School 

Students. 

Frequency: Monthly; Annually. 

Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal 

Gov’t, SEAs or LEAs; Individuals or

Burden: 

Responses: 46,150. 

Burden Hours: 6,487. 

Abstract: This study will address the 

methodological flaws in the existing 

research base on Connected 

Mathematics 1 (CM1) by incorporating 

methodological lessons from the What 

Works Clearinghouse review of CM1, as 

reported in the Intervention Report on 

the Web site, into the current study 

design of Connected Mathematics 2 

(CM2). This will, to our knowledge, be 

the first formal study to look at the 

efficacy of CM2. Understanding the 

effects of curricula like CM2 will 

provide more evidence for ED in 

developing evidence-based approaches 

to mathematics instruction and 

informing parents and schools about 

those approaches. The primary 

respondents in this study will be 6th 

grade math students and their teachers.
