Proposed Regulation Table-Supplement not Supplant Alternate Funds-based Compliance Test and Public Reporting

Proposed Regulatory Burden and Respondents

Proposed Regulation	Requirement	Number of Responses	Hours per Respondent	Annual Burden Hours
§200.72(b)(1)(i)(A)	Would require each LEA to annually publish its methodology for allocating State and local funds in a manner easily accessible to the public	14,000	5	23,333
§200.72(b)(1)(ii)(C)	Would allow States to--at their discretion--submit an alternate funds-based compliance test for Federal peer review that then could be used by LEAs to demonstrate compliance with the proposed supplement not supplant requirements	15	40	600

We estimate that during the three year period for which we seek information collection approval, 14,000 LEAs would devote five hours to publishing a methodology for allocating State and local funds. Therefore, we estimate for this section a total burden over three years for all respondents would be 70,000 hours, resulting in an average annual burden of 23,333 hours.

Number of Respondents	Hours per Respondent	Total Annual Burden Hours	Total Cost ($35/hr)
14,000	5	23,333	$816,667

We estimate that 15 States would choose to submit an alternate funds-based compliance test for Federal peer review, and that each State would devote 40 hours to preparing and submitting the alternate funds-based compliance test. Therefore, we estimate a total burden of 600 hours for this proposed regulation. We estimate State staff time at $40 per hour, which comes to a cost of $1,600 per State and a total cost of $24,000 for all burden across all States.

Number of Respondents	Hours per Respondent	Total Burden Hours	Total Cost ($40/hr)
