Abstract: Section 8302 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), permits each SEA, in consultation with the Governor, to apply for program funds through submission of a consolidated State plan or a consolidated State application (in lieu of individual program State plans). The purpose of consolidated State plans as defined in ESEA is to improve teaching and learning by encouraging greater cross-program coordination, planning, and service delivery; to enhance program integration; and to provide greater flexibility and less burden for State educational agencies.

Emergency Justfication: This is a request for emergency clearance to collect critical information for the Consolidated State Plan, the instrument through which State educational agencies (SEAs) apply for funding under the following programs: Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) Title I, Part A Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Educational Agencies Title I, Part B, Section 1201 Grants for State Assessments and Related Activities Title I, Part C Education of Migratory Children Title I, Part D Prevention and Intervention Programs for Children and Youth Who Are Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk Title II, Part A Supporting Effective Instruction Title III, Part A English Language Acquisition, Language Enhancement, and Academic Achievement Title IV, Part A Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants Title IV, Part B 21st Century Community Learning Centers Title VI, Part B, Subpart 2: Rural and Low-Income School Program McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act of 1987 Title VII, Subtitle B Education for Homeless Children and Youths Program On December 10, 2015, the programs above were reauthorized by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). On November 29, 2016, the Department received information collection clearance approval for a Consolidated State Plan aligned to the Notice of Final Regulations for Accountability and State Plans published in the Federal Register at 81 FR 86076. Congress is currently considering a joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) (5 U.S.C. §§ 801-808) to overturn these regulations. If a resolution of disapproval is enacted, these regulations “shall have no force or effect.” Pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.13, the Department requests that OMB review this collection under its emergency procedures. This request for emergency clearance is based on two factors: (1) the joint resolution of disapproval under the CRA presents an unanticipated event beyond the Department’s control; and (2) further uncertainty of the requirements for submission of consolidated State plans would prevent States from implementing the new ESSA requirements in school year 2017-2018. Section 8302 of the ESEA, as amended by the ESSA, permits each SEA, in consultation with the Governor, to apply for program funds through submission of a consolidated State plan (in lieu of individual program State plans). The purpose of Consolidated State Plans as defined in ESEA is to improve teaching and learning by encouraging greater cross-program coordination, planning, and service delivery; to enhance program integration; and to provide greater flexibility and less burden for SEAs. The Department will use the information from the Consolidated State Plan as the basis for approving funding under the included programs for the duration of the reauthorization. Failure to collect this information in a timely manner will bar the Department from receiving the comprehensive data and information that is necessary to fulfill its fiduciary and oversight responsibilities, and endanger the missions of the individual programs.

Short Statement: Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Department is seeking emergency clearance from OMB for revision of this information collection under 5 CFR 1320.13. Congress is currently considering a joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) (5 U.S.C. §§ 801-808) to overturn the Department's Accountability and State Plans regulations published in the Federal Register on November 29, 2016. If a resolution of disapproval is enacted, these regulations "shall have no force or effect." Thus, the Department finds it necessary to revise the consolidated State plan template to include only those requirements directly indicated in statute. There is a -5240 annual burden hour decrease.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $83,200
