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

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

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: College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP).
OMB Control Number: 1810-0689.
Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 37.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,184.
Abstract: The College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) office
staff collects information for the CAMP Annual Performance Report (APR)
the data being collected is 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) (shown in appendix A), 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 APR demonstrating that substantial progress has been made
towards meeting the approved objectives of the project. In addition,
EDGAR requires discretionary grantees to report on their progress
toward meeting the performance measures established for the ED grant
program. The CAMP office staff requests a customized APR that goes
beyond the generic 524B APR 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.
