The U.S. Department of Education is seeking public comments on a proposed extension without changes to an existing information collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This concerns the 'Annual Report of Children in Institutions for Neglected or Delinquent Children,' which gathers data on children in state agency and locally operated institutions, adult correctional facilities, and community day programs. The data is essential for calculating fund allocations under Title I, Part A and Title I, Part D of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to support education for at-risk students in high-poverty schools. Comments are invited until April 3, 2026, via regulations.gov using Docket ID ED-2026-SCC-1057 or other specified methods. The Department seeks feedback on the necessity of the collection, data processing timeliness, burden estimates (2,812 annual responses, 4,061 burden hours), ways to improve information quality and clarity, and methods to reduce respondent burden using technology. Respondents are state, local, and tribal governments. This three-year extension ensures continued data collection for accurate Title I formula grant distributions to local educational agencies through state educational agencies.
