[[Page 62834]]

(44 U.S.C. 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 ICR that is described below. The Department is especially 
interested in public comments 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 record.
    Title of Collection: Impact Aid Program--Application for Section 
7002 Assistance.
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0036.
    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: 215.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 323.
    Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is requesting an 
extension for the Application for Assistance under section 7002 of 
title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). This 
application is for a grant program otherwise known as Impact Aid 
Payments for Federal Property. Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) that 
have lost taxable property due to Federal activities request financial 
assistance by completing an annual application. Regulations for section 
7002 of the Impact Aid Program are found at 34 CFR 222, subpart B. 
Applicants prepare and submit these applications through an e-
application on ED's Impact Aid Grant System website. The e-application 
offers recurring LEA applicants significant advantages in preparing the 
application because it pre-populates much of the LEA's identifying 
information and Federal property data. The e-application automatically 
checks for completion of all necessary items and includes arithmetic 
checks for table subtotals and the application total. This software 
reduces the number of errors in applications submitted to ED.
