Abstract: 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 (ESEA) as amended by No Child Left Behind (NCLB). This application is for a grant program otherwise known as Impact Aid Basic Support Payments. Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) whose enrollments and revenues are adversely impacted 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 G5 website. This application is approved under OMB 1810-0687, and is attached to a final rule under 1810-AB24 which caused a substantive change to the annual burden for this application. The Department of Education is requesting renewal of its three-year clearance under the same collection number, with the final regulations.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Due to changes in the regulations there is a reduction in the burden hours for applicants applying for Impact Aid Section 8003 assistance. Additionally, by using the exact number of respondents for each part of the application rather than an estimate, the Department is more precise about the total time required; the actual number of respondents is lower than prior estimates. In total, we estimate that it will require 82.8 hours per LEA applicant to collect, organize and prepare the application for Impact Aid Section 8003 assistance. The rule reduced the time spent collecting Average Daily Attendance (ADA); the availability of a state average attendance ratio for all States will significantly reduce the number of hours, as LEAs will not have to collect or report this data. Furthermore, there is a reduction in GCD collection; very few applicants use the GCD provision, and the reduction in the stated number of applicants affected reduces the burden calculation. Another regulatory change affects the source check for Indian Lands and Low Rent Housing; the prior estimate of 500,000 parents completing the source check form is reduced to $355,000. For FY 2016, for example, 354,046 children were claimed on Indian lands (122,593) or resided in low rent housing (231,453); under the final regulations these students will now be counted by source check, a much less burdensome collection method.
