Abstract: This package is for the reinstatement of the Indian Education Formula Grant Program to Local Educational Agencies application for funding. The application is used to determine applicant eligibility, amount of award, and appropriateness of project services for Indian students to be served. The single most important change to this instrument is that applicants will now submit their data electronically through EDFacts, which will result in more meaningful data and an easier, faster application process.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The annual burden for the prior collection was based on the fact that all applicants were required to submit a hard copy application and manually enter all performance and program information. For this collection (FY 2007 and for the duration of the clearance period), approximately 99.9% of all grantees will be submitting an electronic application that will prepopulate student performance and demographic data from EDFacts. The new electronic application system streamlines the application process for grantees, who will only need to submit performance and budget information once (as opposed to twice for the paper collection process). The enhancements also provide applicants with menus of options, reducing errors, and offers interactivity so the Office of Indian Education can more easily make comments on the applications. Consequently, the information collected is less (in paperwork and burden) than those previously required.
