3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with 
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact 
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's 
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in 
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed 
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The 
Department of Education is especially interested in public comment 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to 
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: Randolph-Sheppard Financial Relief and 
Restoration Payments Appropriation.
    OMB Control Number: 1820-0698.
    Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 51.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 51.
    Abstract: This is a request for an extension of the emergency 
approval for information collection resulting from enactment of the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, Division H, Title III, Section 
318. This provision authorized the Secretary of Education to allot 
$20,000,000 for one-time financial relief and restoration grants 
consistent with the purposes of the Randolph-Sheppard Act as authorized 
under section 10 of such Act (20 U.S.C. 107f). Prior to this 
legislation, Congress has not appropriated such funds concerning the 
Randolph-Sheppard Vending Facility Program, as such the Department is 
seeking this data collection in order to meet its obligation to ensure 
that Federal funds are being used for their prescribed purposes.
