This is a request for a new
information collection in order to collect the Annual Performance
Report (APR) for the Statewide Family Engagement Centers (SFEC)
program. The collection of this information is part of the
government-wide effort to improve the performance and
accountability of all federal programs, under the Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) passed in 1993, the Uniform
Guidance, and the Education Department General Administrative
Regulations (EDGAR). Under GPRA, a process for using performance
indicators to set program performance goals and to measure and
report program results was established. To implement GPRA, ED
developed GPRA measures at every program level to quantify and
report program progress required by the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended. Under the Uniform
Guidance and EDGAR, recipients of federal awards are required to
submit performance and financial expenditure information. The GPRA
program level measures and budget information for the Statewide
Family Engagement Centers (SFEC) Program are reported in the Annual
Performance Report (APR). The APR is required under 2 CFR 200.328
and 34 CFR 75.118 and 75.590. The annual report provides data on
the status of the funded project that corresponds to the scope and
objectives established in the approved application and any
amendments. To ensure that accurate and reliable data are reported
to Congress on program implementation and performance outcomes, the
SFEC APR collects the raw data from grantees in a consistent format
to calculate these data in the aggregate.
This is a new collection, thus,
all burden is considered new.
