    Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education is requesting approval 
for an extension without change for the Application for Assistance 
under Section 7003 of Title VIII of the Elementary and Secondary 
Education Act (ESEA) as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act 
(ESSA). This application is for a grant program otherwise known as 
Impact Aid Basic Support Payments. Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) 
whose enrollments and revenues are adversely impacted by Federal 
activities use this form to request financial assistance. Regulations 
for the Impact Aid Program are found at 34 CFR 222.
    The statute and regulations for this program require a variety of 
data from applicants annually to determine eligibility for the grants 
and the amount of grant payment under the statutory formula. The least 
burdensome method of collecting this required information is for each 
applicant to submit these data through a web-based electronic 
application hosted on the Impact Aid Grant System (IAGS) website.
