the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be 
processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden 
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the 
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, 
including through the use of information technology. Please note that 
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered 
public records.
    Title of Collection: Applications for Assistance Section 8002 
Impact Aid Program.
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0036.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of an existing collection 
of information.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 250.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 375.
    Abstract: The Application for Assistance under Section 8002 of 
Title VIII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act is for a grant 
program otherwise known as Impact Aid Payments for Federal Property. 
Local Educational Agencies that have lost taxable property due to 
Federal activities request financial assistance by completing an annual 
application. Regulations for Section 8002 of the Impact Aid Program are 
found at 34 CFR part 222, subpart B, however these regulations have 
recently been superceded by Section 563 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act, signed January 2, 2013. The revised

statute sets the eligibility criteria and the formula for determining 
grant payments under Section 8002. The revised application collects 
annual data required to calculate payments using the new formula.
