Dated: October 14, 2011. Darrin King, Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Privacy, Information and Records Management Services, Office of Management. Office of Elementary and Secondary Education *Type of Review:* Extension. *Title of Collection:* Consolidated State Application. *OMB Control Number:* 1810-0576. *Agency Form Number(s):* N/A. *Frequency of Responses:* On occasion; annually. *Affected Public:* Individuals or households. *Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses:* 30. *Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours:* 2,400. *Abstract:* Title IX, Part C, Sections 9301-9306, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended, authorizes the Secretary of Education to provide States the option of submitting consolidated applications to obtain funds for covered programs in which the State participates. The purpose of consolidated applications 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. The U.S. Department of Education will use the information from the consolidated State application as the basis for approving funding under the covered ESEA, as amended programs (in which the State participates). The Department also will use the performance targets, baseline data, and other related information in the consolidated application to continue to assess the degree of progress States make over time in achieving ESEA goals. As with previous collections, the information in this collection will allow the Department to continue to monitor effectiveness of the use of program funds, and provide grantees with technical assistance.
