SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (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
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in
public comment 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 records.
Title of Collection: Streamlined
Clearance Process for Discretionary
Grants
OMB Control Number: 1894–0001
Type of Review: An extension of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, and Tribal Governments
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 1
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 1
Abstract: Section 3505(a)(2) of the
PRA of 1995 provides the OMB Director
authority to approve the streamlined
clearance process proposed in this
information collection request. This
information collection request was
originally approved by OMB in January
of 1997. This information collection
streamlines the clearance process for all
discretionary grant information
collections which do not fit the generic
application process. The streamlined
clearance process continues to reduce
the clearance time for the U.S.
Department of Education’s (ED’s)
discretionary grant information

collections by two months or 60 days.
This is desirable for two major reasons:
it would allow ED to provide better
customer service to grant applicants and
help meet ED’s goal for timely awards
of discretionary grants.

Title of Collection: Applications for
Assistance Section 8002 Impact Aid
Program.
OMB Control Number: 1810–0036.
Type of Review: a revision to an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 250.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 1,125.
Abstract: The U.S. Department of
Education is requesting an emergency
clearance for a revision of the
Application for Assistance under
Section 8002 of Title VIII of the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act. 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
8002 of the Impact Aid Program are
found at 34 CFR part 222, Subpart B;
however, a change to the funding
formula contained in Section 563 of the
National Defense Appropriation Act for
FY 2013 supersedes many of these
regulations.
This expedited collection is a direct
result of a statutory change included in
Section 563 of the National Defense
Appropriation Act of FY 2013 (Pub. L.
E:\FR\FM\09APN1.SGM
09APN1
21120
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 68 / Tuesday, April 9, 2013 / Notices
112–239, January 2, 2013). The revised
statute simplifies the funding formula,
and therefore decreases the data
collection burden for Section 8002
applicants, with the goal of enabling the
Department to make payments to LEAs
more quickly. However, because the
statutory change is retroactive to
include payments for FY 2010, the
Impact Aid Program (IAP) must
recalculate its payments to all eligible
LEAs for FYs 2010–2013. The
applications previously submitted for
those fiscal years’ funds contain only
part of the data required under the new
formula. In order to collect the new data
required by the formula, IAP requests
approval of revised versions of Tables 3
and 4 of the application. For the FY
2014 grant application, LEAs have not
yet submitted applications, thus IAP
must collect all data needed under the
new formula with a revised application
package. The FY 2014 application
package requires fewer data elements
overall than the previous application.
