Title of Collection: Form for
Maintenance of Effort Waiver Requests
under the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965, as amended.
OMB Control Number: 1810–0693.
Type of Review: Revision of an
existing collection of information.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local or Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 202.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 5,360.
Abstract: Section 9521(a) of the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA)
provides that a local educational agency
(LEA) may receive funds under Title I,
Part A and other ESEA covered
programs for any fiscal year only if the
State educational agency (SEA) finds
that either the combined fiscal effort per
student or the aggregate expenditures of
the LEA with respect to the provision of
free public education by the LEA for the
preceding fiscal year was not less than
90 percent of the combined fiscal effort
or aggregate expenditures for the second
preceding fiscal year. This provision is
the maintenance of effort (MOE)
requirement for LEAs under the ESEA.
If an LEA fails to meet the MOE
requirement, under section 9521(b) of
the ESEA, the SEA must reduce the
amount of funds allocated under the
programs covered by the MOE
requirement in any fiscal year in the
exact proportion by which the LEA fails
to maintain effort by falling below 90
percent of either the combined fiscal
effort per student or aggregate
expenditures. In reducing an LEA’s
allocation because it failed to meet the
MOE requirement, the SEA uses the
measure most favorable to the LEA.
Section 9521(c) gives the U.S.
Department of Education (ED) the
authority to waive the ESEA’s MOE
requirement for an LEA if it would be
equitable to grant the waiver due to an
exceptional or uncontrollable
circumstance such as a natural disaster
or a precipitous decline in the LEA’s
E:\FR\FM\16JAN1.SGM
16JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 16, 2013 / Notices
financial resources. Once an MOE
waiver is granted, the reduction
required by section 9521(b) does not
occur for that year.
To review MOE waiver requests, ED
relies primarily on expenditure,
revenue, and other data relevant to an
LEA’s request provided by the SEA. To
assist SEAs with submitting this
information, ED developed an MOE
waiver form as part of the 2009 Title I,
Part A Waiver Guidance, which covered
a range of waivers that ED invited at that
time.
The purpose of this collection is to
renew approval for the MOE waiver
form. ED believes that the proposed
form, which is slightly modified from
the currently approved version, will
enable an SEA to provide the
information needed in an efficient
manner.
