SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA)(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's information collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed information collection request
(ICR)that is described below. The Department of Education is especially interested in public comment addressing the following issues:
(1)Is this collection necessary to the proper functions of the Department;
(2)will this information be processed and used in a timely manner;
(3)is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4)how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(5)how might the Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use of information technology. Please note that written comments received in response to this notice will be considered public records. *Title of Collection:* Evaluation of the Comprehensive Technical Assistance Centers. *OMB Control Number:* 1850-NEW (previously 1850-0914). *Type of Review:* A new information collection. *Respondents/Affected Public:* Individuals or Households. *Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses:* 649. *Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours:* 236. *Abstract:* The National Evaluation of the Comprehensive Technical Assistance Centers will examine and document how the Comprehensive Center program and its individual centers intend to build SEA capacity and what types of activities they actually conduct to build capacity. The study will use surveys and interviews of center staff and technical assistance recipients, as well as technical assistance event observations, to collect information about how the Comprehensive Centers design their work, how they operate, and the results of their work. The 60 day **Federal Register** notice for this collection (Vol. 81 FR 75388 on 10/31/2016) was issued under OMB #1850-0914. The Department of Education is requesting a new OMB number for this collection since the current collection was incorrectly issued as a common form. Once a new OMB number is issued for this collection, the current OMB number #1850-0914 will be discontinued. Dated: January 12, 2017. Kate Mullan, Acting Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Office of the Chief Privacy Officer, Office of Management. [FR Doc. 2017-00966 Filed 1-17-17; 8:45 am]
