The Department published notices in the Federal Register inviting public comments on proposed revisions to the Department’s two principal information collections for the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins V): (1) the Perkins V State Plan Guide (OMB #1830-0029), which collects State plans, plan revisions, and State- determined performance levels for the core indicators of performance; and (2) the Perkins V Consolidated Annual Report (CAR) (OMB #1830-0569), which collects data on student participation in CTE, the use of Perkins V funds, and the progress of States in achieving State- determined levels of performance.

Dear Colleagues:
The Department recently published notices in the Federal Register inviting public comments on proposed revisions to the Department’s two principal information collections for the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins V): (1) the Perkins V State Plan Guide (OMB #1830-0029), which collects State plans, plan revisions, and State-determined performance levels for the core indicators of performance; and (2) the Perkins V Consolidated Annual Report (CAR) (OMB #1830-0569), which collects data on student participation in CTE, the use of Perkins V funds, and the progress of States in achieving State-determined levels of performance. The Department is proposing to make changes to both information collections to help ensure that performance reporting is aligned with the law, to promote greater consistency in performance data across States, to fill some information gaps about critical aspects of Perkins V administration, and to inform whether future rulemaking is appropriate. The attached letter more fully provides the rationale and an overview of the proposed revisions.
