response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Elementary and
Secondary Improvement Formula
Grants.
OMB Control Number: 1810–0682.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of an existing collection of
information.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, or Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 3,102.

Abstract: This information collection
request covers requirements for
applications to the School Improvement
Grants program. On January 21, 2010,
the U.S. Department of Education
(Department) published final
requirements and a State educational
agency (SEA) application for the School
Improvement Grants (SIG) program
authorized under section 1003(g) of
Title I of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as
amended, and funded through the
Department of Education
Appropriations Act, 2009, and the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (ARRA) (FY 2009). The final
requirements defined the criteria that an
SEA must use to award FY 2013 SIG
funds to local educational agencies
(LEAs). In awarding these funds, an SEA
must give priority to the LEAs with the
lowest-achieving schools that
demonstrate the greatest need for the
funds and the strongest commitment to
using the funds to provide adequate
resources to their lowest-achieving
schools that are eligible to receive
services provided through SIG funds in
order to raise substantially the
achievement of the students attending
those schools. The information
collection activities consist of: (1)
Applications for an SEA to submit to the
Department to apply for FY 2013 SIG
funds; (2) the reporting of specific
school-level data on the use of SIG
funds and specific interventions
implemented in LEAs receiving SIG
funds that the Department currently
collects through EDFacts; (3) the process
for an LEA to apply to its SEA for SIG
funds; and (4) the SEAs posting its LEAs
applications on the SEAs Web site.
