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.

There is a program change
decrease of -190 due to a new statute and decrease of -2076 burden
hours. By using the exact number of respondents for each part of
the application, rather than an estimate, the Department was able
to be more precise about the total time required making an
adjustment decrease to the total number of respondents by -575. On
January 3, 2013 President Obama signed the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 into law. This law contains
technical changes to the Impact Aid Program for provisions related
to Military and Indian Lands Housing Undergoing Renovation or
Rebuilding, which is reported on Tables 9 and 11 of the FY 2014
application. This information clearance package significantly
reduces the information required on Tables 9 & 11 by requiring
the LEA to provide only the housing official contact information;
this collection will include a form to be sent to the designated
housing official. While the majority of the housing officials work
for other federal agencies, there are a select group of housing
officials that are contracted with the federal government.
