Abstract: The Impact Aid Program, authorized by Title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended, provides financial assistance to Local Educational Agencies (LEA) whose enrollment or revenues are adversely affected by Federal activities. The ESEA, as amended, authorized a Discretionary Construction Grant program under Section 7007(b). The Impact Aid Discretionary Construction Program provides grants to eligible Impact Aid school districts for emergency repairs and modernization of school facilitates. The eligible Impact Aid school districts have a limited ability to raise revenues for capital improvements because they have large areas of Federal land within their boundaries. As a result, these districts find it difficult to respond when their school facilities are in need of emergency repairs or modernization; the Impact Aid Discretionary Construction Program assists these LEAs.

Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an adjustment decrease of -840 annual burden hours and -320 responses. The burden is adjusted to account for the fact that the appropriation level for this program has declined such that we receive 30-40 applications under this program in a given fiscal year rather than hundreds. The information collected will be the same; the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in 2015 did not make substantive changes to this program. Changes to the forms are limited to updating statutory references. This program is now in Title VII as opposed to Title VIII.
