Abstract: This information collection is used by the U.S. Department of Education (Department) to gather annual performance and financial data from eligible agencies under the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006. On August 30, 2024, the Department published for public comment, for a period of 60 days, a proposed request to extend this information collection request ICR for nine months to enable eligible agencies to meet their annual reporting requirements for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023. On September 11, 2024, the Department published for public comment, for a period of 60 days, a proposed revision of this ICR for which three-year approval was requested so that eligible agencies could meet their reporting requirements for FYs 2024 through 2026. On September 23, 2024, ED corrected an error in the publication of the proposed revised instrument for the CAR and posted the correct version. Due this error, on October 15, 2024, ED extended the public comment period on the CAR for two weeks, to November 26, 2024. The Department is now proposing a consolidated information collection request that incorporates the extension for FY 2023 reporting that was published on August 30, 2024, and the proposed revision for FYs 2024 through 2026 reporting that was published on September 11, 2024. This information collection would extend current reporting requirements through FY 2025 and make revisions to these requirements for FY 2026. The proposed revisions would provide data specifications for the numerators and denominators used to calculate the performance indicators so that they are measured in a manner that is consistent with the law, collect data on participants in the middle grades to the extent such data are available, and collect data on the education and employment outcomes of CTE concentrators who have exited secondary education or who have completed a postsecondary program that is disaggregated by placement type, to the extent these data available. The proposed ICR also includes narrative questions about different aspects of an eligible agency’s implementation of the law.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Of the total burden hour increase of 490 hours, 252 hours are associated with the proposed addition of nine (9) narrative questions that (depending on the number of secondary program quality indicators a State reports data on) related to the following areas: (1) identification of CTE concentrators; (2) accountability for results; (3) size, scope, and quality; and (4) high-skill and high-wage occupations and industries. and the addition of a table that collects data on enrollment of middle grades students and their demographics beginning in the fourth year of the collection, to the extent such data are available to respondents. Our estimate assumes that the addition of the enrollment table would require state officials to increase the number of hours they spend to train eligible recipients to provide the enrollment data, clean the data they receive, and report the data to the Department. Since approval of this ICR, the U.S. Virgin Islands became a Perkins V grantee, increasing the number of respondents from 53 to 54.
