4. Reporting: (a) If you apply for a 

grant under this competition, you must 

ensure that you have in place the 

necessary processes and systems to 

comply with the reporting requirements 

in 2 CFR part 170 should you receive 

funding under the competition. This 

does not apply if you have an exception 

under 2 CFR 170.110(b). At the end of 

your project period, you must submit a 

final performance report, including 

financial information, as directed by the 

Secretary. If you receive a multiyear 

award, you must submit an annual 

performance report that provides the 

most current performance and financial 

expenditure information as directed by 

the Secretary under 34 CFR 75.118. The 

Secretary may also require more 

frequent performance reports under 34 

CFR 75.720(c). For specific 

requirements on reporting, please go to 

www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/ 

appforms/appforms.html. 

(c) Under 34 CFR 75.250(b), the 

Secretary may provide a grantee with 

additional funding for data collection 

analysis and reporting. In this case the 

Secretary establishes a data collection 

period. 

5. Performance Measures: For the 

purposes of Department reporting under 

34 CFR 75.110, we have established four 

performance measures for the ANE 

program under the absolute priority: (1) 

the number of grantees who attain or 

exceed the targets for the outcome 

indicators for their projects that have 

been approved by the Secretary; (2) the 

percentage of Alaska Native children 

participating in early learning and 

preschool programs who consistently 

demonstrate school readiness in 

language and literacy as measured by 

the Revised Alaska Development 

Profile; (3) the percentage of Alaska 

Native students in schools served by the 

program who earn a high school 

diploma in four years; and (4) the 

number of Alaska Native programs that 

primarily focus on Alaska Native 

culture and language. 

For a grantee that includes 

construction in its project, if Congress 

authorizes such use and the Department 

funds such an application, the 

Department will use the following 

performance measures for the ANE 

program: (1) the number of grantees that 

attain or exceed the targets for the 

outcome indicators for their projects 

that have been approved by the 

Secretary; (2) the number and 

percentage of grantees that report 

annually that the overall condition of 

the building(s) on which their project 

focuses is adequate; and (3) the number 

and percentage of grantees that report 

their project is at each of the following 

levels of completion: (a) not started; (b) 

1–25 percent; (c) 26–50 percent; (d) 51– 

75 percent; (e) 76–99 percent; (f) 100 

percent complete. 

6. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award under 34 CFR 

75.253, the Secretary considers, among 

other things, whether a grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the goals and objectives of the project; 

whether the grantee has expended funds 

in a manner that is consistent with its 

approved application and budget; and, 

if the Secretary has established 

performance measurement 

requirements, whether the grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the performance targets in the grantee’s 

approved application. In making a 

continuation award, the Secretary also 

considers whether the grantee is 

operating in compliance with the 

assurances in its approved application, 

including those applicable to Federal 

civil rights laws that prohibit 

discrimination in programs or activities 

receiving Federal financial assistance 

from the Department (34 CFR 100.4, 

104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department, in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the 

general public and Federal agencies 

with an opportunity to comment on 

proposed, revised, and continuing 

collections of information. This helps 

the Department assess the impact of its 

information collection requirements and 

minimize the public’s reporting burden. 

It also helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. The 

Department is soliciting comments on 

the proposed information collection 

request (ICR) that is described below. 

The Department is especially interested 

in public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: Entry Evidence 

and Evaluation & Exit Evidence Forms. 

OMB Control Number: 1894–NEW. 

Type of Review: New ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal governments 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 819.

Burden Hours: 2,927. 

Abstract: ED will use the Entry 

Evidence ICR form and the Evaluation & 

Exit Evidence ICR form for discretionary 

grant programs that: (1) Use the 

standard ED 524–B Grant Performance 

Report form as approved by OMB. The 

use of the standard ED 524–B Grant 

Performance Report promotes the 

standardization and streamlining of ED 

discretionary grant performance 

reporting. These performance reporting 

components are necessary to 

standardize information collection 

about Entry evidence, and Evaluation & 

Exit evidence use in grant 

implementation and to ensure a better, 

more comprehensive understanding of 

the use of evidence from what is 

provided in a grant application to the 

actual implementation of the grant 

project.

Office of Management and Budget for 

approval. The 2024 EAVS asks election 

officials questions concerning voting 

and election administration, including

overseas and military voting; voting by 

mail; early in-person voting; polling 

operations; provisional voting; voter 

participation; election technology; 

election policy; and other related issues.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title and OMB Number: 2024 Election 

Administration and Voting Survey; 

OMB Number Pending. 

Purpose: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3501–3520), Federal Agencies must 

obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ 

is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 

CFR 1320.3(c) and includes Agency 

requests or requirements that members 

of the public submit reports, keep 

records, or provide information to a 

third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 

PRA requires Federal agencies to 

provide a 60-day notice in the Federal 

Register concerning each proposed 

collection of information, including 

each proposed extension of an existing 

collection of information, before 

submitting the collection to OMB for 

approval. To comply with this 

requirement, the EAC is publishing 

notice of the proposed collection of 

information set forth in this document. 

Background: The EAC issues the 

EAVS to meet its obligations under the 

Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) 

to serve as a national clearinghouse and 

resource for the compilation of 

information with respect to the 

administration of Federal elections; to 

fulfill both the EAC and the Department 

of Defense Federal Voting Assistance 

Program’s (FVAP) data collection 

requirements under the Uniformed and 

Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act 

(UOCAVA); and meet its National Voter 

Registration Act (NVRA) mandate to 

collect information from states 

concerning the impact of that statute on 

the administration of Federal elections. 

In addition, under the NVRA, the EAC 

is responsible for collecting information 

and reporting, biennially, to Congress 

on the impact of that statute. The 

information the states are required to 

submit to the EAC for purposes of the 

NVRA report are found under Title 11 

of the Code of Federal Regulations. 

States that respond to questions in 

this survey concerning voter 

registration-related matters will meet 

their NVRA reporting requirements 

under 52 U.S.C. 20508 and EAC 

regulations. Finally, UOCAVA mandates 

that FVAP work with the EAC and chief 

state election officials to develop 

standards for reporting UOCAVA voting 

information (52 U.S.C. 20302) and that 

FVAP will store the reported data and 

present the findings within the 

congressionally-mandated report to the 

President and Congress. Additionally, 

UOCAVA requires that ‘‘not later than 

90 days after the date of each regularly 

scheduled general election for Federal 

office, each state and unit of local
