On March 31, 2020 the Department of Education (Department) published in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for the Demonstration Grants for Indian Children and Youth Program (Demonstration Grants) (Vol. 85, No. 62, pages 17794-17805). Specifically, we proposed revising the regulations in 34 CFR part 263 that govern the Demonstration Grants to implement changes to title VI resulting from the enactment of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and to better enable the Department and grantees to meet the objectives of the program. In addition, the Department proposed a new priority and accompanying requirements and selection criteria for applicants proposing to empower Tribes and parents to choose education services best suited to their studentsâ needs. At the time the NPRM was published, no Information Collection Request was submitted concurrently. We are publishing a separate 30-day FRN to solicit public comment on the paperwork burden.
US Code:
20 USC 7441
Name of Law: Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended
The Department is seeking this reinstatement with change of a previously approved information collection request due to the proposed rulemaking for the Demonstration Grants program. The total burden due to the change in the program statute is an estimated 3,000 hours and 100 responses respectively.
