OMB Control Number: 1810–0646. Type of Review: A reinstatement of a previously approved information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Governments. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 549. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,377. Abstract: This data collection is pursuant to the Secretary’s authority under Part B of Title VI of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), to award funds under two grant programs designed to address the unique needs of rural school districts— the Small, Rural School Achievement (SRSA) program (ESEA Section 6212) and the Rural and Low-Income School (RLIS) program (ESEA Section 6221). Under the SRSA program, the Secretary awards grants directly to eligible local educational agencies (LEAs) on a formula basis. Under the RLIS program, eligible school districts are subrecipients of funds the Department awards to State educational agencies (SEAs) on a formula basis. For both grant programs, the Department awards funds based on a determination of the eligibility of individual school districts and the calculation of the allocation each eligible district should receive according to formula prescribed in the statute. This data collection package consists of two forms and related documents that are used to accomplish the grant award process each year: (1) A spreadsheet used by SEAs to submit information to identify RLIS and SRSAeligible LEAs and to allocate funds based on the appropriate formula, and (2) an application form for SRSAeligible LEAs to apply for funding. This submission requests a three-year extension of the current approved collection package (OMB #1810–0646). The REAP eligibility spreadsheet (Form 1) has no substantive changes or revisions from the previously-approved collection under OMB#1810–0646. Similarly, the SRSA Application (Form 2) is essentially unchanged from the previous collection. The instructions accompanying both Form 1 and Form 2 remain unchanged from the previouslyapproved collection, except for minor changes to update dates and contact information. None of these changes require SEAs to submit additional data. PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Dated: July 9, 2015.
