The purpose of this information
collection package--the Consolidated Annual Report (CAR)is to
gather narrative, financial and performance data as required by the
reauthorized Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of
2006 (Perkins IV) (20 U.S. C. 2301 etseq. As amended by P.L.
109-270). OCTAE staff will determine each States compliance with
basic provisions of Perkins IV and the Education Department General
Administrative Regulations (34 CFR Park 80.40 [Annual Performance
Report] and Part 80.41 [Financial Status Report]). OCTAE staff will
review performance data to determine whether, and to what extent,
each State has met its State adjusted levels of performance for the
core indicators described in section 113(b)(4) of Perkins IV.
Perkins IV requires the Secretary to provide the appropriate
committees of Congress copies of annual reports received by the
Department from each eligible agency that receives funds under the
Act.
There is a program change
reduction of -1130 burden hours, the burden hours decreased due to
the elimination of the option to complete and submit Microsoft
Excel reporting forms to the website and mailing a hard paper copy
of the entire package to the Department.
