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: Carl D. Perkins 

Career and Technical Education Act 

State Plan. 

OMB Control Number: 1830–0029. 

Type of Review: A revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 54. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 1,620. 

Abstract: This request is to revise the 

information collection that will expire 

on April 30, 2022. The Department 

requests to revise the collection tool for 

one year in order to gather State Plans 

and annual revisions under Perkins V 

and makes the following changes: This 

information collection solicits from all 

eligible States and outlying areas the 

State plans required under Title I of the 

Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical 

Education Act of 2006, as amended by 

the Strengthening Career and Technical 

Education for the 21st Century (Perkins 

V). 

The revision to this collection 

instrument removes the cover letter, 

removes the requirements and 

instructions related to submission of 

Perkins V State Plans in FY 2019 and 

FY 2020. The Department recognized 

that it would take time for eligible 

agencies to update their CTE systems, 

policies, and programs to align with the 

requirements of Perkins V after it was 

signed into law on July 31, 2018. As 

such, eligible agencies had the option of 

submitting a 1-Year Transition Plan in 

FY 2019 or a Perkins V State Plan that 

covered 5 years from FY 2019 to FY 

2023. Some background information 

regarding the submission or original 

State Plans was maintained for 

historical context, but much of the 

information related to these original 

options is no longer relevant as states 

prepare annual revisions. This revision 

removes the requirement that eligible 

agencies submit local formula 

allocations as part of State Plan 

revisions in subsequent years. Local 

formula allocation information is 

collected annually as part of the OMBapproved Perkins V Consolidated 

Annual Report (CAR)—(OMB Control 

Number 1830–0569). The revised tool 

adds a budget line item related to the 

percent of funds made available to serve 

individuals in ‘‘other’’ State institutions. 

Perkins V requires that eligible agencies 

make funds available to serve 

individuals in State institutions, such as 

(1) State correctional institutions, (2) 

juvenile justice facilities, and (3) 

educational institutions that serve 

individuals with disabilities. Some 

states provide funds to State institutions 

beyond the three types of institutions 

explicitly identified in Perkins V and 

therefore an additional ‘‘other’’ line item 

is needed to collect this information. 

The revised collection also changes 

references to fiscal years (FYs) to 

program years (PYs) on the section V.B 

State Determined Performance Levels 

(SDPL) Form to reduce confusion among 

grantees as they set SDPL targets that 

align to performance data that is 

ultimately reported based upon program 

year.

legislative and executive branches of 

government have come together to offer 

relief to those individuals and 

industries affected by the COVID–19 

virus under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, 

and Economic Security (CARES) Act 

(Pub. L. 116–136) authorized on March 

27, 2020, and expanded through the 

Coronavirus Response and Relief 

Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) 

Act, and the American Rescue Plan 

(ARP) Act. The Governor’s Emergency 

Education Relief Fund (GEER Fund) 

awards grants to Governors (States) and 

Outlying Areas for the purpose of 

providing local educational agencies 

(LEAs), institutions of higher education, 

and other education-related entities 

with emergency assistance as a result of 

the coronavirus pandemic. This 

information collection includes annual 

reporting requirements to comply with 

the requirements of the GEER program 

and obtain information on how the 

funds were used by State and Local 

Education Agencies, institutions of 

higher education, and other educationrelated entities. On 2/10/2022, the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) approved the emergency 

collection which included two 

additional questions to address the 

expenditure of GEER funds directly by 

the Governor’s office (or another entity, 

such as the SEA, designated as the 

administrator of the GEER fund by the 

Governor’s office). The Department is 

now requesting approval for a three-year 

clearance. There is no change from the 

emergency collection except for 

clarifying changes. To view the recently 

approved questions, please refer to
