Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 31 / Wednesday, February 15, 2012 / Notices 8847 

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. The OMB is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: (1) Evaluate whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (2) Evaluate the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) Minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

Community Learning Centers: Lessons 

Learned Guides. 

OMB Control Number: Pending. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Total Estimated Annual Burden

Abstract: The purpose of this study is 

to produce guides for the 21st Century 

Community Learning Centers (21st 

CCLC) program that will assist the U.S. 

Department of Education (ED) staff in 

providing technical assistance to 

grantees on the following four topics: (1) 

Science, Technology, Engineering, and 

Math; (2) English Learners; (3) Career 

and Technical Education; and (4) 

structures to increase learning time. ED 

will identify 21st CCLC subgrantees that 

are implementing activities in a manner 

that builds on scientific evidence, strong 

management and organizational 

practice, and data use; conduct visits to 

individual sites operated by those 

programs to investigate and document 

the practices; and write a ‘‘lessons from 

the field’’ guide for practitioners that 

includes site descriptions and cross-site 

analyses of good and innovative practice 

that can help other 21st CCLC grantees 

and subgrantees implement similar 

programs.

(21st CCLC) State Competitions.

Abstract: This study will examine 

state subgrant competitions conducted 

under the 21st CCLC program in order 

to glean ‘‘lessons learned’’ that can 

inform efforts to improve the state 

capacity for conducting state 

competitions for similarly-structured 

grant programs under the Elementary 

and Secondary Education Act. More 

specifically, the study will examine how 

states conduct their 21st CCLC 

competitions; state-level conditions and 

capacity issues affecting the conduct of 

such competitions; how states evaluate 

of the quality of local applications and 

plans; and potential strategies for 

improvement. Evaluation findings will

support Federal- and state-level staff in 

developing a deeper understanding of 

the capacity of states to carry out 

subgrant competitions, highlight factors 

that are important to consider in 

administering a state grant competition, 

and assist states in developing highquality grant programs that meet the 

community needs. Additionally, the 

results from this review will inform the 

Department’s technical assistance and 

monitoring activities.

Burden Hours: 4,712,193. 

Abstract: Title I, Part A of the 

Elementary and Secondary Education 

Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the 

No Child Left Behind Act, and its 

regulations contain several existing 

provisions that require State educational 

agencies (SEAs), local educational 

agencies (LEAs), and schools to collect 

and disseminate information. The 

Paperwork Reduction Act covers these 

activities, which are currently approved 

by the Office of Management and 

Budget under control number 1810– 

0581 (expires April 30, 2012). 

The U.S. Department of Education 

(ED) has invited each SEA to request 

flexibility on behalf of itself, its LEAs, 

and schools, in order to better focus on 

improving student academic 

achievement and increasing the quality 

of instruction (ESEA flexibility). As of 

January 31, 2012, 40 SEAs have 

indicated that they plan to request ESEA 

flexibility. Of particular relevance to 

this collection is ED’s expectation that, 

overall, ESEA flexibility will result in 

less burden on SEAs, LEAs, and schools 

compared with current law absent this 

flexibility. The burden estimate for this 

collection is therefore substantially 

lower than that of the currently 

approved collection.
