Abstract: For the College Assistance 

Migrant Program (CAMP), a customized 

annual performance report (APR) that 

goes beyond the generic 524B is 

requested to facilitate the collection of 

more standardized and comprehensive 

data to inform Government Performance 

and Results Act (GPRA), to improve the 

overall quality of data collection, and to 

increase the quality and quantity of data 

that can be used to inform policy 

decisions. Please note that in 2007, our 

office, Office of Migrant Education 

(OME), received OMB approval for a 

similar APR for the High School 

Equivalency (HEP), which is another 

program authorized under the same 

Higher Education Act of 1965, as 

amended (HEA) legislation and 

managed by OME.

Burden: 

Responses: 53. 

Burden Hours: 29,707. 

Abstract: The Consolidated State 

Performance Report (CSPR) is the 

required annual reporting tool for each 

State, Bureau of Indian Education, 

District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico as 

authorized under Section 9303 of the 

Elementary and Secondary Education 

Act (ESEA), as amended by the No 

Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). 

The Department uses the information 

derived from the CSPR to: (1) Monitor 

and report its progress in meeting 

Strategic Plan goals; (2) assess and 

report individual program performance, 

including GPRA performance measures; 

(3) monitor States’ implementation of 

NCLB and the extent to which States are 

meeting program and accountability 

goals; (4) to identify areas for technical 

assistance to States and overall program 

improvement; and (5) to inform other 

reporting and program evaluation 

requirements specific to individual 

programs and including the Secretary’s 

Annual State Report to Congress on No 

Child Left Behind. The current 

approved CSPR (OMB ι1810-0614) will 

expire on October 31, 2010. This 

submission requests approval to include 

new or substantially revised questions 

in Sections 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.6 of CSPR 

Part I, and section 2.2 of CSPR Part II. 

The additions and revisions to the CSPR 

are necessary at this time to: (1) meet 

new NCLB data collection requirements 

for School Improvement Grants (Section 

1003(a) and 1003(b)) and science

assessments (1111(b)(3)) implemented 

in SY 07-08, and (2) more accurately 

reflect the data requirements in 

1111(h)(4)(D) and section 3121(b)(1) for 

evaluation; and (3) align Title I, Part B 

student performance measures with 

existing collections. 

Additional Information: During the 

60-day public comment period, ED 

received comments on the new and/or 

substantially revised items added to the 

CSPR for SY 2007-08 from 9 States. 

Public comments and ED’s responses 

are detailed in a supplemental 

document to the SY 2007-08 CSPR 

currently pending approval from OMB. 

In addition, during the 60-day comment 

period, 15 States submitted comments 

in response to a focused question 

intended to help the Department 

determine the viability of moving any or 

all of the CSPR questions, which were 

initially prepopulated in 2006-07 to 

exclusive population by EDFacts for 

2007-08 or 2008-09. Based on the 

responses to the focused question, along 

with ED’s review of SEA transition 

agreements, ED has determined that it 

will not move any additional items to 

full population from EDFacts for the 

CSPR SY 2007-08 collection. ED will 

work with the States over the next 

several months to determine which 

items will be fully populated by 

EDFacts for the SY 2008-09 and 

subsequent CSPR collections. The SY 

2007-08 CSPR & EDFacts Cross-walk, 

linking EDFacts data files to CSPR 

questions is included in the CSPR 

clearance package. Technical 

Amendments for SY 08-09 EDFacts Data 

Set related to the new CSPR questions 

in Section 1.4.8 on School Improvement 

Status also are included in the CSPR SY 

2007-08 clearance documents.
