Abstract: This collection of information is necessary to collect information under the Title I, Part C Migrant Education Program (MEP). The MEP is authorized under sections 1301-1309 of Part C of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended. Regulations for the MEP are found at 34 CFR § 200.81-200.89. This information collection covers regulations with information collection requirements which pertain to information that State educational agencies (SEAs) must collect in order to properly administer the MEP: 34 CFR § 200.83, 200.84, 200.88, and 200.89(b)-(d). Most provisions do not require SEAs to submit the information collected to the Department, with the exception of the provisions under 34 CFR § 200.89(b). The Department is requesting a revision to this currently approved information collection in order to address changes to MEP eligibility made by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which reauthorizes and amends the authorizing statute, ESEA. The changes to MEP eligibility criteria must be reflected on the national Certificate of Eligibility (COE), which is an information collection required by 34 CFR § 200.89(c). There was an overall reduction in SEA burden and responses. The reduction in burden and responses was achieved not as a result of deliberate Federal government action, but rather due to decreases in the number of eligible migratory children, the number of SEAs participating in the MEP, and the number of SEAs that the Department expects will be required to implement retrospective re-interviewing. The burden per respondent for the COE as described in 34 CFR § 200.89(c) remains the same because although some additional burden is incurred as a result of the added questions (needed to demonstrate compliance with the new statutory language in ESSA), there was an equivalent reduction in burden achieved by the removal of previously included questions (which were needed to demonstrate compliance with the statute, prior to its amendment by ESSA). The annualized burden of 34 CFR §§ 200.83, 200.84, and 200.88 was changed due to those costs occurring at least once per ESEA authorization period of four years (previously six years).

Short Statement: There is an adjustment decrease of -18,001 responses and an increase of 285, 807 annual burden hours. There was an overall reduction in SEA burden and responses. This reduction was achieved not as a result of deliberate Federal government action, but rather due to decreases in the number of eligible migratory children, a decrease in the number of SEAs participating in the MEP since the last approval of this form, and decreases in the number of SEAs that the Department expects will be required to implement retrospective re-interviewing, as described in 34 CFR § 200.89(b)(1). The annualized burden of 34 CFR §§ 200.83, 200.84, and 200.88 was changed due to those one-time costs occurring at least once per ESEA authorization cycle of four years (compared to the previous ESEA authorization period of six years). In its 2011 and 2014 requests for renewed approval of the information collection, the Department decreased the burden associated with 34 CFR § 200.89(b)(1) because all States had an ED-accepted defect rate and no State was required to implement the retrospective re-interview process as a result of corrective action. The Secretary is further reducing the burden in 2017 because no States have been required to implement the retrospective re-interview process as a result of corrective action, and it is unlikely that as many as four States will need to do so in the next three years. The burden per respondent for the COE as described in 34 CFR § 200.89(c) remains the same because although some additional burden is incurred as a result of the added questions (needed to demonstrate compliance with the new statutory language in ESSA), there was an equivalent reduction in burden achieved by the removal of previously included questions (which were needed to demonstrate compliance with the statute, prior to its amendment by ESSA).
