Abstract: The Department administers two formula grant programs under Title V, Part B (Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP)) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA): the Small, Rural School Achievement (SRSA) program, administered by the Department, which makes awards directly to local educational agencies (LEAs); and the Rural and Low-Income School (RLIS) program, awarded by the Department to State Educational Agencies (SEAs), which then make awards to and administer the program for LEAs. The Department may also make RLIS awards directly to LEAs in States that do not submit an approvable RLIS application to the Department. These LEAs that apply directly to the Department for RLIS funding are known as Specially Qualified Agencies (SQAs). The information provided to the Department enables the Department to make eligibility determinations for LEAs and to calculate formula allocations for each eligible LEA. Form 1 consists of the REAP Eligibility Spreadsheet through which SEAs provide to the Department eligibility and allocation data for both the RLIS and SRSA programs. Form 2 consists of the application package for LEAs under the SRSA program. Form 3 consists of the application package for SQAs under the RLIS program. This is a request for extension of the current information collection package (OMB #1810-0646), updated for the future fiscal years in which the collection would apply.
