SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Education (ED), 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. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. 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 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: Mathematics and 

Science Partnerships Program: Annual 

Performance Report. 

OMB Control Number: 1810–0669. 

Type of Review: Revision of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 600. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 7,800. 

Abstract: The Mathematics and 

Science Partnerships (MSP) program is 

a formula grant program to the States in 

which states make competitive awards 

to projects. The authorizing legislation, 

Title II, Part B, Section 2202 (f) of the 

Elementary and Secondary Education 

Act of 1965 as amended by the No Child 

Left Behind Act of 2001, requires all 

locally funded projects to report 

annually to the Secretary documenting 

progress towards goals and objectives. 

The Annual Performance Report (APR) 

is an online reporting tool. Annual 

reporting requirements include impact 

on increasing teacher learning and 

student achievement; standard 

descriptive information on the MSP 

projects; the professional development 

participants; the professional 

development models, content, and 

processes; the evaluation plans; and 

lessons learned. By structuring the 

reporting so that all MSPs are required 

to provide standardized data, the 

program office is better able to examine 

outcomes across funded partnerships. 

The primary objective of the proposed 

revision is to reduce burden on 

reporting entities while ensuring that 

needed data continue to be collected. 

Proposed revisions include removing 

items that duplicate information, 

condensing sections of the APR that 

require substantial project burden to 

complete, and clarifying reporting 

instructions to improve quality of 

responses.
