Department of Education is especially interested in public comment

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.

    OMB Control Number: 1810-0751.
    Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 20,000.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 40,000.
    Abstract: This is a request for approval of an extension without 
change of an information collection that allows the Department to 
distribute to States an example application for the Emergency 
Assistance to Non-Public Schools (EANS) program under section 312(d) of 
the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 
2021 (CRRSA Act), Public Law 116-260, to provide services or assistance 
to non-public schools. Under the EANS program, we will award grants by 
formula to each Governor with an approved Certification and Agreement 
to provide services or assistance to eligible non-public schools to 
address the impact that the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has 
had, and continues to have, on non-public school students and teachers 
in the State. The CRRSA Act requires that State's collect applications 
from non-public schools in order to award these funds. This request is 
being made to allow the distribution of an example application States 
can use to collect the needed information from eligible non-public 
schools. States are not required to use this application and may create 
their own.
