The U.S. Department of Education is
requesting approval for the Application for Assistance under
Section 8003 of Title VIII of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act as amended by No Child Left Behind. This application
is otherwise known as Impact Aid Basic Support Payments. Local
Educational Agencies whose enrollments are adversely affected by
Federal activities use this form 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
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.
US Code:
20
USC 7700 Name of Law: Subchapter VIII Impact Aid
There is an adjustment decrease
of -404 in the total burden hours requested. As the previously
approved collection was new the, then burden estimate was slightly
higher . The Department has used the actual numbers from the FY
2011 application cycle with this extension request, rather than an
estimate when calculating burden. All other data collection factors
remain the same.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
