that the Office of Management and

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The Acting 

Director, Information Collection 

Clearance Division, 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. 

The Department of Education 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

through the use of information 

technology.

Title: Identifying Potentially 

Successful Approaches to Turning 

Around Chronically Low Performing 

Schools. 

Frequency: Once. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour 

Burden: 

Responses: 1,746. 

Burden Hours: 743. 

Abstract: This study seeks to identify 

schools that have achieved rapid 

improvements in student outcomes in a 

short period of time; illuminate the 

complex range of policies, programs, 

and practices used by these turnaround 

schools; and compare them to strategies 

employed by not improving, chronically 

low-performing schools. The ultimate 

goal of the study is to specify replicable 

policies, programs, and practices that 

hold greatest promise for further 

rigorous analysis. To this end, the study 

will collect data from school principals 

as well as school staff through a webbased and telephone survey and on-site 

interviews in selected schools. The data 

will be used by the U.S. Department of 

Education to identify policies, 

programs, and practices associated with 

school turnaround that can be 

rigorously tested in a future impact 

evaluation study.

opportunities of these families through 

the integration of early childhood 

education, adult literacy or adult basic 

education, and parenting education into 

a unified family literacy program. This

cooperative activities that build on highquality existing community resources to 

create a new range of educational 

services for the most-in-need migratory 

agricultural or fishing families, promote 

the academic achievement of migratory 

children and adults, assist migratory 

children in meeting challenging State 

content standards and challenging State 

achievement standards, and use 

instructional programs based on 

scientifically based reading research on 

preventing and overcoming reading 

difficulties for children and adults. The 

application package contains a 

description of the 15 program elements 

that MEES projects must implement, as 

required by Title I, Part B, section 1235
