Notice of Proposed Information 

Collection Requests 

AGENCY: Department of Education. 

SUMMARY: The IC Clearance Official, 

Regulatory Information Management 

Services, Office of Management, invites 

comments on the proposed information 

collection requests as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before October 

20, 2008. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) requires that 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) provide interested Federal 

agencies and the public an early 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. OMB may amend or 

waive the requirement for public 

consultation to the extent that public 

participation in the approval process 

would defeat the purpose of the 

information collection, violate State or 

Federal law, or substantially interfere 

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The IC Clearance 

Official, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of 

Management, publishes that notice 

containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission 

of these requests to OMB. Each 

proposed information collection, 

grouped by office, contains the 

following: (1) Type of review requested, 

e.g., new, revision, extension, existing 

or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary 

of the collection; (4) Description of the 

need for, and proposed use of, the 

information; (5) Respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6) 

Reporting and/or Recordkeeping 

burden. OMB invites public comment. 

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.

Title: Charter Schools Program (CSP) 

Grant Award Database. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit; State, Local, or Tribal Gov’t,

Burden: 

Responses: 68. 

Burden Hours: 110. 

Abstract: This request is for renewal 

of OMB approval to collect data 

necessary for the Charter Schools 

Program (CSP) Grant Award Database. 

This current data collection is being 

coordinated with the EDFacts initiative 

to reduce respondent burden and fully 

utilize data submitted by States and 

available to the U.S. Department of 

Education (ED) through the Education 

Data Exchange Network (EDEN). 

Specifically, under the current data 

collection, ED collects CSP grant award 

information from grantees (State 

agencies and some schools) to create a 

new database of current CSP-funded 

charter schools and award amounts. 

Once complete, ED merges performance 

information extracted from the EDEN 

database with the database of CSPfunded charter schools. Together, these 

data allow ED to monitor CSP grant 

performance and analyze data related to 

accountability for academic 

performance, financial integrity, and 

program effectiveness.

information collection request may be
