Abstract: The Office of Migrant Education is collecting information for the High School Equivalency Program Annual Performance Report in compliance with Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, Title IV, Sec. 418A; 20 U.S.C. 1070d-2 (special programs for students whose families are engaged in migrant and seasonal farm work), the Government Performance Results Act (GPRA) of 1993, Section 4 (1115), and the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR), 34 CFR 75.253. EDGAR states that recipients of multi-year discretionary grants must submit an Annual Performance Report demonstrating that substantial progress has been made towards meeting the approved objectives of the project. In addition, discretionary grantees are required to report on their progress toward meeting the performance measures established for the Department of Education grant program. The Office of Migrant Education requests an extension without change of a currently approved collection to continue the use of a customized Annual Performance Report that goes beyond the Department of Education generic form number 524B Annual Performance Report to facilitate the collection of more standardized and comprehensive data to inform GPRA, to improve the overall quality of data collected, and to increase the quality of data that can be used to inform policy decisions.

Short Statement: ED is requesting approval of a change to the High School Equivalency Program (HEP: CFDA 84.141) Annual Performance Report (APR). Based on feedback from grantees, data checks and verification were time-consuming and often confusing. ED has now included an Excel Form that automatically checks and verifies data for grantees. The change should decrease overall burden; however, there is an increase in hours due to the change in the number of grantees receiving grants and therefore required to submit an APR since this collection was last approved in 2010. The content of the questions remains the same.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $2,030
