    Title of Collection: Consolidated Annual Report (CAR) for the Carl

    OMB Control Number: 1830-0569.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved ICR.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 54.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 13,122.
    Abstract: This information collection is used by the U.S. 
Department of Education (Department) to gather annual performance and 
financial data from eligible agencies under the Carl D. Perkins Career 
and Technical Education Act of 2006. On August 30, 2024, the Department 
published for public comment, for a period of 60 days, a proposed 
request to extend this ICR for nine months to enable eligible agencies 
to meet their annual reporting requirements for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023. 
On September 11, 2024, the Department published for public comment, for 
a period of 60 days, a proposed revision of this ICR for which three-
year approval was requested so that eligible agencies could meet their 
reporting requirements for FYs 2024 through 2026. On September 23, 
2024, ED corrected an error in the publication of the proposed revised 
instrument for the CAR and posted the correct version. Due this error, 
on October 15, 2024, ED extended the public comment period on the CAR 
for two weeks, to November 26, 2024. The Department is now proposing a 
consolidated information collection request that incorporates the 
extension for FY 2023 reporting that was published on August 30, 2024, 
and the proposed revision for FYs 2024 through 2026 reporting that was 
published on September 11, 2024.
    This information collection would extend current reporting 
requirements through FY 2025 and make revisions to these requirements 
for FY 2026. The proposed revisions would provide data specifications 
for the numerators and denominators used to calculate the performance 
indicators so that they are measured in a manner that is consistent 
with the law, collect data on participants in the middle grades to the 
extent such data are available, and collect data on the education and 
employment outcomes of CTE concentrators who have exited secondary 
education or who have completed a postsecondary program that is 
disaggregated by placement type, to the extent these data available. 
The proposed ICR also includes narrative questions about different 
aspects of an eligible agency's implementation of the law.
