DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

[CFDA No. 84.041]


Impact Aid

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice extending the application deadline date for Impact Aid 
fiscal year 1995 section 8002 grants and fiscal year 1996 section 8003 
grants.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Secretary extends the deadline date for the submission of 
applications for Impact Aid fiscal year 1995 section 8002 grants and 
fiscal year 1996 section 8003 grants to May 8, 1995. Impact Aid 
regulations at 34 CFR Sec. 222.10 specify that the annual application 
deadline is January 31 of the fiscal year for which assistance is being 
sought. Because the Impact Aid statute was reauthorized on October 20, 
1994, as part of the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994, new 
application forms for those grants had to be developed and approved. 
Now that the approval process is complete and new applications are 
available, an extension is being granted to potential applicants under 
sections 8002 and 8003 for Impact Aid assistance for the respective 
years specified. Section 8003 applicants should use a survey date for 
their student counts that is at least three days after the start of the 
1994-95 school year and before the extended deadline of May 8, 1995.
    The deadline date for the transmittal of comments by State 
Educational agencies is May 23, 1995. The Secretary will also accept 
and approve for payment any otherwise approvable application that is 
received on or before the sixtieth day after May 8, 1995. However, any 
applicant meeting the conditions of the preceding sentence will have 
its payment reduced by 10 percent of the amount it would have received 
had its application been filed by May 8, 1995.
