*Title of Collection:*                     Comprehensive Literacy Program Evaluation: Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) Program Evaluation                

*OMB Control Number:*                     1850-0945.                

*Type of Review:*                     An extension without change of a currently approved ICR.                

*Respondents/Affected Public:*                     Individuals and Households; State, Local, and Tribal Governments.                

*Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses:*                     612.                

*Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours:*                     331.                

*Abstract:*                     The Institute of Education Sciences within the U.S. Department of Education requests an extension of the Comprehensive Literacy Program Evaluation: Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grant Program (1850-0945, approved on February 26, 2021). The extension is to complete the collection of state administrative data. The extension is needed because the state administrative data for the 2022-23 school year will not be ready to collect prior to the February 29, 2024 expiration date in all 13 CLSD grantee states. No material change in the collection instrument, instructions, frequency of collection, or use of information is being requested.                

The Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) Program Evaluation was mandated by Congress. The CLSD evaluation includes an examination of implementation, a randomized trial to estimate the impact of CLSD funding on teacher and student outcomes, and a longitudinal comparison of trends in achievement in CLSD and similar, non-CLSD schools. With the exception of the state administrative data collection—for which this extension is being requested—all other data collection for the study previously approved (including state interviews, district, school leader, and teacher surveys) have been completed.
