SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Education (ED), in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. 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. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. Public 

comments are encouraged on all 

changes proposed in the Part I and Part 

II Consolidated State Performance 

Report; the Department is also 

interested in obtaining input from data 

submitters and stakeholders on these 

specific questions: 

1. CSPR Process 

What part of the CSPR process is the 

most burdensome on your SEA? 

a. Reporting the data into the system. 

b. Data quality reviews. 

c. EMAPS reporting. 

d. Other, please specify. 

What are ways ED should improve the 

CSPR process to reduce burden on your 

SEA? 

2. Submission of CSPR 

Currently CSPR is collected in two 

parts, with separate open and close 

schedules. Would it be less, more, or the 

same burden if ED moved to collecting 

CSPR as one part in the future? Which 

part of the process would increase or 

decrease your burden by moving to one 

part: 

a. Reporting the data into the system. 

b. Data quality reviews. 

c. EMAPS reporting. 

d. Other, please specify. 

Title of Collection: Consolidated State 

Performance Report Part I and Part II. 

OMB Control Number: 1810–0724. 

Type of Review: A revision of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 14,653. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 16,447. 

Abstract: The Consolidated State 

Performance Report (CSPR) is the 

required annual reporting tool for each 

State, the Bureau of Indian Education, 

District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico as 

authorized under Section 8303 of the 

Elementary and Secondary Education 

Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every 

Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The 

CSPR collects data on programs 

authorized by: Title I, Part A; Title I, 

Part C; Title I, Part D; Title II, Part A; 

Title III, Part A; Title V, Part A; Title V, 

Part B, Subparts 1 and 2; and The 

McKinney-Vento Act. The information 

in this collection relate to the 

performance and monitoring activities 

of the aforementioned programs under 

ESSA and the McKinney-Vento Act. 

These data are needed for reporting on 

GPRA as well as other reporting 

requirements under ESSA. 

There are significant changes between 

this collection and the SY2016–17 

collection. The SY2016–17 collection 

represented the reporting requirements 

under the No Child Left Behind Act 

while the SY2017–18 aligns with the 

reporting requirements of the Every 

Student Succeeds Act.
