Approved as amended by ED's 9/23/94 memoranda to OMB. In addition, th collection will generate certain data similar to that collected throug financial and performance reports for the Library Services and Construction Act. ED has demonstrated that the NCES collection approv here will collect these data with sufficient validity and reliability; accordingly, the LSCA program will be able to access the NCESdata base for key information about State library agency services and expenditures. ED shall revise those program reports as soon as possib to eliminate collection of data that will be covered by this NCES repo report: specifically, data elements that collect information on monitoring (Q. 17, lines 115-116 of the NCES report); on staff numbers for LSCA grants administration (NCES Q. 19, line 132); on LSCA income title (NCES Q. 21, lines 154-163); and on expenditures by title (NCES Q. 23).This will allow States to report the information once annually to ED, rather than twice due to duplicative data elements between this NCES collection and the LSCA program reports.
