    Title of Collection: Magnet Schools Assistance Program--Government 
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Table Form.
    OMB Control Number: 1855-0025.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 116.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 58.
    Abstract: The collection of this information is part of the 
government-wide effort to improve the performance and accountability of 
all federal programs, under the Government Performance and Results Act 
(GPRA) passed in 1993, the Uniform Guidance, and EDGAR. Under GPRA, a 
process for using performance indicators to set program performance 
goals and to measure and report program results was established. To 
implement GPRA, ED developed GPRA measures at every program level to 
quantify and report program progress required by the Elementary and 
Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended. Under the Uniform Guidance 
and EDGAR, recipients of federal awards are required to submit 
performance and financial expenditure information. The GPRA program 
level measures and budget information for the Magnet Schools Assistance 
Program (MSAP) are reported in the Annual Performance Report (APR). The 
APR is required under 2 CFR 200.328 and 34 CFR[thinsp]75.118 and 
75.590. The annual report provides data on the status of the funded 
project that corresponds to the scope and objectives established in the 
approved application and any amendments. To ensure that accurate and 
reliable data are reported to Congress on program implementation and 
performance outcomes, the MSAP APR collects the raw data from grantees 
in a consistent format to calculate these data in the aggregate.
