    Title of Collection: Credit Enhancement for Charter School 
Facilities Program Application Package.
    OMB Control Number: 1810-NEW.
    Type of Review: A new ICR.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 12.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 960.
    Abstract: An application is required by statute to award the Credit 
Enhancement for Charter School Facilities Program (formerly known as 
the Charter School Facilities Financing Demonstration Program) grants. 
These grants are made to private, non-profits; public entities; and 
consortia of these organizations. The funds are to be deposited into a 
reserve account that will be used to leverage private funds on behalf 
of charter schools to acquire, construct, and renovate school 
facilities.
    The U.S. Department of Education is seeking OMB approval for a new 
collection for the application for the Credit Enhancement for Charter 
School Facilities Program. This collection was previously approved 
under 1855-0007 but the program has been moved into the Office of 
Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) so we are requesting a new 
OMB number in order to align it with collections in OESE. Once 
approved, we will discontinue the 1855-0007 collection.
    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.
