    Title of Collection: Impact Aid Electronic Data Collection (EDC) 
Program Questionnaire.
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0764.
    Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved 
ICR.

    Abstract: The Impact Aid Program (IAP) in the Office of Elementary 
and Secondary Education (OESE) at the U.S. Department of Education (ED) 
requests an extension without change of the U.S. Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) collection 1810-0764 for the Electronic Data 
Collection (EDC) Program Questionnaire. Local educational agencies 
(LEAs) are required to annually submit federally connected student 
count data with the grant application for Section 7003 Payments for 
Federally Connected Children. Traditionally, LEAs have used paper 
survey forms to collect this information. However, the IAP has allowed 
LEAs to demonstrate that they can successfully collect this information 
electronically through student information systems (SIS). IAP has 
created a questionnaire to help LEAs and IAP determine if the 
electronic data collection can meet the statutory and regulatory 
requirements to successfully count their federally connected student 
counts.
