data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed

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

Title of Collection: U.S. Department of
Education Grant Performance Report
Form (ED 524B).
OMB Control Number: 1894–0003.
Type of Review: An extension of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, or Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 5,300.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 118,400.
Abstract: The ED 524B form and
instructions are used in order for
grantees to meet Department of
Education (ED) deadline dates for
submission of performance reports for
ED discretionary grant programs.
Recipients of multi-year discretionary
grants must submit an annual
performance report for each year
funding has been approved in order to
receive a continuation award. The
annual performance report should
demonstrate whether substantial
progress has been made toward meeting
the approved goals and objectives of the
project. ED program offices may also
require recipients of ‘‘forward funded’’
grants that are awarded funds for their
entire multi-year project up-front in a
single grant award to submit the ED
524B on an annual basis. In addition,
ED program offices may also require
recipients to use the ED 524B to submit
their final performance reports to
demonstrate project success, impact and
outcomes. In both the annual and final
performance reports, grantees are
required to provide data on established
performance measures for the grant
program (e.g., Government Performance
and Results Act measures) and on
project performance measures that were
included in the grantee’s approved grant
application. The ED 524B also contains
a number of questions related to project
financial data such as Federal and non-

Education.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Under the Small, Rural
School Achievement (SRSA) program,
the U.S. Department of Education
(Department) awards grants on a
formula basis to eligible local
educational agencies (LEAs) to address
the unique needs of rural school
districts. In this notice, we establish the
deadline for submission of fiscal year
(FY) 2014 SRSA grant applications.
An eligible LEA that is required to
submit an application must do so
electronically by the deadline in this
notice.
SUMMARY:
Application Deadline: May 30,
2014, 4:30:00 p.m. Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Which LEAs are eligible for an award
under the SRSA program?
An LEA (including a public charter
school that is considered an LEA under
State law) is eligible for an award under
the SRSA program if—
(a) The total number of students in
average daily attendance at all of the
schools served by the LEA is fewer than
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
600, or each county in which a school
served by the LEA is located has a total
population density of fewer than 10
persons per square mile; and
(b)(1) All of the schools served by the
LEA are designated with a school locale
code of 7 or 8 by the Department’s
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES); or
(2) The Secretary has determined,
based on a demonstration by the LEA
and concurrence of the State
educational agency, that the LEA is
located in an area defined as rural by a
governmental agency of the State.
Note: The school locale codes are the
locale codes determined on the basis of the
NCES school code methodology in place on
the date of enactment of section 6211(b) of
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
of 1965, as amended.
Which eligible LEAs must submit an
application to receive an FY 2014 SRSA
Grant Award?
An eligible LEA must submit an
application to receive an FY 2014 SRSA
grant award if that LEA has never
submitted an application for SRSA
funds in any prior year.
All eligible LEAs that need to submit
an application to receive an SRSA grant
award in a given year are highlighted in
yellow on the SRSA eligibility
spreadsheets, which are posted annually
on the SRSA program Web site at
www2.ed.gov/programs/reapsrsa/
eligibility.html.
Under the regulations in 34 CFR
75.104(a), the Secretary makes a grant
only to an eligible party that submits an
application. Given the limited purpose
served by the application under the
SRSA program, the Secretary considers
the application requirement to be met if
an LEA submitted an SRSA application
for any prior year. In this circumstance,
unless an LEA advises the Secretary by
the application deadline that it is
withdrawing its application, the
Secretary deems the application that an
LEA previously submitted to remain in
effect for FY 2014 funding, and the LEA
does not have to submit an additional
application.
We intend to provide, by May 15,
2014, a list of LEAs eligible for FY 2014
funds on the Department’s Web site at
https://www2.ed.gov/programs/reapsrsa/
eligibility.html. This Web site will
indicate which eligible LEAs must
submit an electronic application to the
Department to receive an FY 2014 SRSA
grant award, and which eligible LEAs
are considered already to have met the
application requirement.
Eligible LEAs that need to submit an
application in order to receive FY 2014
SRSA funds must do so electronically
