    Abstract: This information collection is used by the Department to 
request State Plans and annual revisions under the Carl D. Perkins 
Career and Technical Education Act of 2006. We are proposing to revise 
the ICR to provide data specifications for the numerators and 
denominators used to calculate the law's performance indicators so that 
they are measured in a manner that is consistent with the statute, 
reduce the collection of potentially duplicative information, give 
States more time to report education and employment outcomes to improve 
the accuracy and completeness of these data, and to

improve the consistency of performance data reported by States.
