and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the

including through the use of information technology. Please note that

public records.

    Abstract: The State Charter School Facilities Incentive Grants 
Program allows States to apply for Federal assistance. These grants are 
made to States to provide them with an incentive to create new or 
enhance existing per-pupil facilities aid programs for charter schools. 
The applicants will provide a description of their proposed activities 
and provide information necessary to determine which grant applications 
should be funded. An additional part of the application consists of 
assurances regarding the applicant's compliance with applicable Federal 
laws and regulations. The information provided in the application will 
allow field readers and the Department of Education to determine if 
applicants are eligible and identify which applications most merit 
funding.
