Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education is proposing changes to the regulations for the Impact Aid Section 8002 Program, requesting approval for the Application for Assistance under Section 8002 of Title VIII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) as amended by No Child Left Behind (NCLB). These proposed regulations are necessary to clarify and improve the administration of payments under section 8002 of the Act relating to the Federal acquisition of real property. The application for Impact Aid Payments for Federal Property is used by Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) that have lost taxable property due to Federal activities to request financial assistance. Regulations for the Impact Aid Program are found at 34 CFR 222. The statute and regulations for this program require a variety of data from applicants annually to determine eligibility for the grants and the amount of grant payment under the statutory formula. The proposed regulations describe specific procedures that must be used by the local taxing official in estimating the assessed value of the Federal property in the school district. This estimate is reported on Table 1 of the Section 8002 application. The application forms included in this package reflect changes to Table 1, consistent with the NPRM. The least burdensome method of collecting this required information is for each applicant to submit these data through a web-based electronic application hosted on the Department of Education’s e-Grants website. This application was previously approved under OMB 1810-0036, and also included a separate application for Section 8003, another distinct formula grant that requires different data from applicant LEAs. To facilitate more efficient clearance processes for both applications this year and in future years, the Department is separating these two applications into two paperwork approval packages. The Section 8003 application is being submitted under the OMB 1810-NEW number. An extension of the current Section 8002 application is also submitted under 1810-0036 as a contingency, should the final regulations and the revised application discussed in this package not be approved in time for the FY 2010 application cycle.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: Separate from the regulatory changes, the burden hours and costs reported have declined because we split the former information collection into two. The previous clearance was for two programs under Title VIII Impact Aid: Section 8002 Payments Relating to Federal Acquisition of Real Property and Section 8003 Payments for Eligible Federally Connected Children. This collection is only for Section 8002; Section 8003 is submitted separately. The burden hours and costs reported for the Section 8002 application reflect the requirement that local tax officials follow specific procedures to develop an estimate of the assessed value of Federal property. These procedures are described in detail in the NPRM. The new burden estimate reflects the effort that tax officials will expend to understand the new rules and select approvable comparables for the Federal property.
