above the mouth of the Ohio; (2) the
Lower Mississippi River and its
tributaries below the mouth of the Ohio
and above Baton Rouge; (3) the Ohio
River and its tributaries; (4) the Gulf
Intracoastal Waterway in Louisiana and
Texas; (5) the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway east of New Orleans and
associated fuel-taxed waterways
including the Tennessee-Tombigbee,
plus the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway
below Norfolk; and (6) the ColumbiaSnake Rivers System and Upper
Willamette. The intent is that each
region shall be represented by at least
one Board member, with that
representation determined by the
regional concentration of the
individual’s traffic on the waterways.
(3) Commodity Representation.
Waterway commerce has been
aggregated into six commodity
categories based on ‘‘inland’’ ton-miles
shown in Waterborne Commerce of the
United States. These categories are (1)
Farm and Food Products; (2) Coal and
Coke; (3) Petroleum, Crude and
Products; (4) Minerals, Ores, and
Primary Metals and Mineral Products;
(5) Chemicals and Allied Products; and
(6) All Other. A consideration in the
selection of Board members will be that
the commodities carried or shipped by
those individuals or their firms will be
reasonably representative of the above
commodity categories.
d. Nomination. Reflecting preceding
selection criteria, the current
representation by the six (6) Board
members whose terms will expire is one
member each representing regions 3 and
6, and two members representing
regions 1 and 2. Also, three of these
Board members represent carriers, one
represents a shipper and two represents
a carrier/shipper.
Three of the six members whose terms
will expire are eligible for
reappointment. Nominations to replace
Board members whose terms expire may
be made by individuals, firms or
associations. Nominations will:
(1) State the region(s) to be
represented.
(2) State whether the nominee is
representing carriers, shippers or both.
(3) Provide information on the
nominee’s personal qualifications.
(4) Include the commercial operations
of the carrier and/or shipper with whom
the nominee is affiliated. This
commercial operations information will
show the actual or estimated ton-miles
of each commodity carried or shipped
on the inland waterways system in a
recent year (or years) using the
waterway regions and commodity
categories previously listed.

Burden:
Responses: 504,306.
Burden Hours: 143,346.
Abstract: The U.S. Department of
Education is requesting approval for the
Application for Assistance under
Section 8003 of Title VIII of the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act (ESEA) as amended by No Child
Left Behind (NCLB). This application is
otherwise known as Impact Aid Basic
Support Payments. Local Educational
Agencies (LEAs) whose enrollments are
adversely affected 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 Department of
Education’s e-Grants Web site. This
application was previously approved
under OMB 1810–0036, along with a
separate application for Section 8002,
payments for Federal property, another
distinct formula that requires different
data from applicant LEAs. To facilitate
more efficient clearance processes for
both applications this year and in future
years, the Department is separating
these two applications into two
paperwork approval packages. The
Section 8002 application will be
submitted under the OMB 1810–0036
number that both applications
previously have been cleared under.
There are no substantive changes to this
application. The Department of
