International Mail Duty Worksheet

Key Information

Abstract

A worksheet through which carriers will submit the information required by, and other information necessary to implement, Executive Order 14256, as amended. The worksheet is where the carrier will declare its duty collection methodology (i.e., ad valorem or specific duty) for the given month, package count, value (if applicable), and total duty amount. The second page will be utilized by the carrier to list the specifics of imported postal items. CBP will use this information to determine the amount of duty that carriers owe pursuant to Executive Order 14256, as amended. CBP can also use the worksheet as a reference when subsequently auditing carriers’ liability for duties.Emergency Justfication:Following the normal clearance procedures under the PRA would prevent the swift implementation of Executive Order 14256, as amended, via the International Mail Duty worksheet and would thereby constrain CBP’s ability to collect information needed to enforce the duties imposed under Executive Order 14256.

[NCBDDD] The Study to Explore Early Development (SEED) Follow-up Study

Key Information

Abstract

This project will be utilized to gain knowledge about the expression of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from childhood through early adulthood that can inform efforts to improve the health and functioning of individuals with ASD as they mature. The SEED Follow-up Study will collect information from families through surveys on the health and functioning of individuals during childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood, and in-person assessments of cognitive abilities. Data obtained through this information collection may improve our understanding of which co-occurring conditions are most prevalent; increase our understanding of the needs of individuals with ASD; how the needs change with age and can be best met at different points in development; and inform research and public health policies on eligibility for services and public health outreach efforts, that could provide opportunities for education, employment, and social connection to improve the health, functioning, and quality of life among persons with ASD and their families. This CR adds Spanish versions for several of the instruments.

EDFacts Data Collection School Years 2022-23, 2023-24, and 2024-25 (With 2021-22 Continuation)

Key Information

Abstract

EDFacts is a U.S. Department of Education (ED) initiative, conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), to collect, analyze, report on, and promote the use of high-quality, pre-kindergarten through grade 12 (pre-K-12) performance data. By centralizing data provided by state education agencies about state level data, local education agencies, and schools, NCES uses the EDFacts data to report on students, schools, staff, services, and education outcomes at the state, district, and school levels. The centralized approach provides ED users with the ability to efficiently analyze and report on submitted data and has reduced the reporting burden for state and local data producers through the use of streamlined data collection, analysis, and reporting tools. EDFacts collects information on behalf of ED grant and program offices for approximately 170 data groups for all 50 states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, and seven outlying areas and freely associated states (American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Marshall Islands, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Republic of Palau, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), and the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE). This request is to collect EDFacts data for the 2022-23, 2023-24, and 2024-25 school years. This collection package will be available for public comment during two open periods, a 60 day and a 30 day, after which revisions will be made accordingly. As part of the public comment period review, ED requests that SEAs and other stakeholders respond to the directed questions found in Attachment D and D-1. Due to overlap in the timing of data collection activities between consecutive years of the EDFacts collection, we are carrying over in this submission the approved SY 2021-22 data collection, which is scheduled to end in February 2023.

GEPA Section 427 Guidance for All Grant Applications

Key Information

Abstract

On October 20, 1994, the Improving America's Schools Act, Public Law 103-382(The Act), became law. The Act added a provision to the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA). Section 427 of GEPA requires an applicant for assistance under Department programs to develop and describe in the grant application the steps it proposes to take to ensure equitable access to, and equitable participation in, its proposed project for students, teachers, and other program beneficiaries. Applicants have responded to the GEPA 427 requirements for approximately the last 27 years, and the current form expires in June 2023. In response to the Agency's Equity Plan resulting from the President's Executive Order 13985, we now propose to update that form by expanding the number of questions from one to four. These four questions are intended to help applicants for Department grant funds to be more intentional and specific as to identifying barriers to equitable access and how they will address those barriers consistent with the requirements of section 427 of GEPA. As with the existing form, applicants retain the flexibility to determine and define for themselves the barriers to “equitable access” and “equitable participation” based on the design of their proposed grant projects and the participants and community the project proposes to serve.
