Abstract: The Application for Assistance under Section 8002 of Title VIII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act is for a grant program otherwise known as Impact Aid Payments for Federal Property. Local Educational Agencies that have lost taxable property due to Federal activities request financial assistance by completing an annual application. Regulations for Section 8002 of the Impact Aid Program are found at 34 CFR 222, Subpart B, however these regulations have recently been superceded by Section 563 of the National Defense Authorization Act, signed January 2, 2013. The revised statute sets the eligibility criteria and the formula for determining grant payments under Section 8002. The revised application collects the data required to calculate payments using the new formula.

Emergency Justfication: This expedited collection is a direct result of a statutory change included in Section 563 of the National Defense Appropriation Act of FY 2013 (P.L. 112-239, January 2, 2013). The revised statute decreases the data collection burden for Section 8002 applicants and simplifies the funding formula, with the goal of enabling the Department to make payments to LEAs more quickly. However, because the statutory change is retroactive to include payments for FY 2010, the Impact Aid Program (IAP) must recalculate its payments to all eligible LEAs for FYs 2010-2013. The applications submitted for those years contain only part of the data required under the new formula. In order to collect the new data required by the formula, IAP will use a revised Tables 3 and 4 of the application. For the FY 2014 grant application, LEAs have not yet submitted applications, thus IAP must collect all data needed under the new formula. In addition to the revised Table 3, for the FY 2014 package we have streamlined Table 1 to remove unnecessary data elements, and made minor clarifying changes to other Tables. Because the statutory changes are retroactive, IAP must recalculate and distribute payments quickly. For FY 2013 and 2014 funds, school districts rely on receiving timely payments in order to meet budgetary needs, as Impact Aid is not a forward-funded program. Thus it is particularly time-sensitive that these data are collected quickly. Additionally, many of the LEAs eligible for Section 8002 assistance are small, rural school districts with vacation days and limited office hours during the summer months, so it is important that we request and collect the data during spring 2013. We would like to collect data on Tables 3 and 4 for FYs 2010 through 2013 by opening data collection for 30 days, ending no later than May 15, 2013, so that these small LEAs will be able to respond. We therefore seek emergency clearance in order to be able to publish the amendment in the first weeks of April. We plan to make the full, revised FY 2014 application package available through the Departments G5 website in August and September, when school district offices resume normal working hours. This will enable the Department to start making FY 2014 payments as soon as possible after funds are allocated.
