DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

 
Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Correction Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On June 12, 2008, the Department of Education published a 
comment period notice in the Federal Register (Page 33414, Column 3) 
for the information collection, ``Consolidated State Performance Report 
(Part I and II).'' This notice hereby corrects the Focused Question for 
Public Comment to read:
    Focused Question for Public Comment: EDFacts Data Linkages for 
Prepopulation of CSPR.
    The SY 2006-07 CSPR contained questions that were ``Initially Pre-
populated from EDFacts.'' The ``Initial Prepopulation'' strategy 
allowed CSPR coordinators the flexibility to use either the data 
submitted through EDFacts or an alternative data source to respond to 
questions on the CSPR.
    It is ED's intention and desire to move as many of those questions, 
which were ``Initially prepopulated'' in 2006-07 to full utilization of 
EDFacts Submissions for 2007-08. As a result, CSPR coordinators will 
only be able to amend responses to those questions on the CSPR by 
working with their EDFacts coordinator to resubmit a file through 
EDFacts. The Department plans to move cautiously towards this new 
strategy by carefully reviewing each state's EDFacts transition 
agreement to ensure that all states will continue to have the capacity 
to submit their CSPR to the Department in a timely manner and with 
complete and accurate information.
    The Department is soliciting public comment from the states on the 
viability of moving any or all of the following questions, which were 
initially pre-populated in 2006-07 to exclusive pre-population for 
2007-08 or 2008-09.
    Questions on the 2007-08 CSPR which were ``Initially Prepopulated 
from EDFacts'' in 2006-07 are listed below:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Question No.                                                                  Descriptor
