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: State Charter School Facilities Incentive 
Grants Program.
    OMB Control Number: 1855-0012.
    Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.

    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.
    This collection is being submitted under the Streamlined Clearance 
Process for Discretionary Grant Information Collections (1894-0001). 
Therefore, the 30-day public comment period notice will be the only 
public comment notice published for this information collection 
request.
