A local educational agency must submit an application to the Department to receive Impact Aid payments under sections 8002 or 8003 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), and a State requesting certification under section 8009 of the ESEA must submit data for the Secretary to determine whether the State has a qualified equalization plan and may take Impact Aid payments into consideration in allocating State aid.
1810-0036 previously included the Section 8003 Basic Support Payments; the 8003 is now covered by a new control number. The original very high burden estimate is traced back to much earlier years when over 4,000 school districts applied for both types of Impact Aid using a single form. The Impact Aid Program now uses two applications and has many fewer applicants, only about 250 applicants for the Section 8002 program. The burden hours reported in this collection is a realistic estimate.
