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: Impact Aid Program--Application for Section 
7002 Assistance.
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0036.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 215.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 323.
    Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education is requesting approval 
for the Application for Assistance under Section 7002 of Title VII of 
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). 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 7002 of the 
Impact Aid Program are found at 34 CFR 222, subpart B.
    Applicants prepare and submit these applications through an e-
application on ED's Impact Aid Grant System website. The e-application 
offers recurring LEA applicants significant advantages in preparing the 
application because it pre-populates much of the LEA's identifying 
information and Federal property data. The e-application automatically 
checks for completion of all necessary items and includes arithmetic 
checks for table subtotals and the application total. This software 
reduces the number of errors in applications submitted to ED.
