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: Migrant Education Program Regulations and 
Certificate of Eligibility.
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0662.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households; State, 
Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 121,658.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 228,135.
    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 of 1965, as amended (ESEA). 
Regulations for the MEP are found at 34 CFR 200.81-200.89. This 
information collection covers regulations with information collection 
requirements that State educational agencies (SEAs) must collect in 
order to properly administer the MEP. Specifically, the regulations in 
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).
    There is one additional MEP regulatory section, 34 CFR 200.85, 
which contains information collection requirements. Those information 
collection requirements, which pertain to the Migrant Student 
Information Exchange (MSIX), are covered by OMB No. 1810-0683.
