Abstract: The Department of
Education (US/ED) is responsible for
administering the Fulbright-Hays
Seminars Abroad (SA) Program under
authority of Section 102(b)(6) of the
Mutual Educational and Cultural
Exchange (Fulbright-Hays) Act of 1961,
as amended. The program is
administered under the policies
established by the J. William Fulbright
Foreign Scholarship Board (FSB), a 12member body appointed by the
President. US/ED recruits and
recommends candidates for seminar
positions abroad in accordance with
FSB policies, which support the
purposes of the Fulbright-Hays Act. The
application is necessary in order for the
Department to award funds under this
program.
This is a revision of a currently
approved collection. The suggested
changes from the currently approved
application are minor, and consist of
mainly updated language to reflect
improvements in clarity and minor
updates to instructions. The burden of
the applicants is an average of three
hours for each applicant and includes
the time needed to obtain references.
There is no change in burden per
response.
This collection is being submitted
under the Streamlined Clearance
Process for Discretionary Grant
Information Collections (1894–0001).
Therefore, the 30-day public comment
period notice will be the only public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Award Information
Type of Award: Formula grant.
Available Funds: The Administration
has requested $96,420,000 for SRSA in
FY 2022. The actual level of funding, if
any, depends on final congressional
action. However, we are inviting
applications to allow enough time to
complete the grant process if Congress
appropriates funds for this program.
Estimated Range of Awards: $0–
$60,000.
Note: Depending on the number of
eligible LEAs identified in a given year
and the amount appropriated by
Congress for the program, some eligible
LEAs may receive an SRSA allocation of
$0 under the statutory funding formula.
Estimated Number of Awards: 4,260.

The FY 2022 SRSA grant awards will
be made under title V, part B, subpart
1 of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965, as amended
(ESEA).
Which LEAs are eligible for an award
under the SRSA program?
For FY 2022, an LEA (including a
public charter school that meets the
definition of LEA in section 8101(30) of
the ESEA) is eligible for an award under
the SRSA program if it meets both
criteria below:
(a) The total number of students in
average daily attendance at all of the
schools served by the LEA is fewer than
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) All of the schools served by the
LEA are designated with a school locale
code of 41, 42, or 43 by the
Department’s National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES); or 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.
The Department provides an
eligibility spreadsheet containing each
LEA eligible for FY 2022 SRSA grant
funds, which is available on the
Department’s website at: https://
oese.ed.gov/offices/office-of-formulagrants/rural-insular-nativeachievement-programs/rural-educationachievement-program/small-ruralschool-achievement-program/
eligibility/.
If an LEA on the Department’s list of
LEAs eligible to receive an FY 2022
SRSA award will close prior to the
2022–2023 school year, that LEA is no
longer eligible to receive an FY 2022
SRSA award and should not apply.
Note: The ‘‘Choice of Participation’’
provision under section 5225 of the
ESEA gives an LEA eligible for both
SRSA and the Rural and Low-Income
School (RLIS) program authorized under
title V, part B, subpart 2 of the ESEA the
option to participate in either the SRSA
program or the RLIS program. An LEA
eligible for both SRSA and RLIS is
henceforth referred to as a ‘‘dual-eligible
LEA.’’

Which eligible LEAs must submit an
application to receive an FY 2022 SRSA
grant award?
Under 34 CFR 75.104(a), the Secretary
makes a grant only to an eligible entity
that submits an application.
In FY 2022, each LEA eligible to
receive an SRSA award is required to
submit an SRSA application in order to
receive SRSA funds, regardless of
whether the LEA received an award or
submitted an application in any
previous year. This includes each dualeligible LEA that chooses to participate
in the SRSA program instead of the
RLIS program, and each SRSA-eligible
LEA that is a member of an educational
service agency (ESA) that does not
receive SRSA funds on the LEA’s behalf.
In the case of an SRSA-eligible LEA that
is a member of an SRSA-eligible ESA,
the LEA and ESA must coordinate with
each other to determine which entity
will submit an SRSA application on the
LEA’s behalf, as both entities may not
apply for or receive SRSA funds for the
LEA. Pursuant to section 5225 of the
ESEA, a dual-eligible LEA that applies
for SRSA funds in accordance with
these application submission
procedures will not be considered for an
RLIS award.
A separate application must be
submitted for each eligible LEA and
each applicant must apply with its own
unique entity identifier pursuant to 2
CFR part 25. For example, if a rural
community has two distinct LEAs—one
composed of its elementary school(s)
and one composed of its high
school(s)—each LEA is required to
submit its own SRSA application with
the LEA’s own unique entity identifier.
An LEA eligible to receive FY 2022
SRSA funds that fails to submit an FY
2022 SRSA application in accordance
with the requirements below risks not
receiving an FY 2022 SRSA award. The
Department may consider applications
submitted after the deadline to the
extent practicable and contingent upon
the availability of funding.
As noted above, each applicant must
apply with its own unique entity
identifier. The applicant’s Data
Universal Numbering System (DUNS)
number will serve as the entity
identifier until April 4, 2022, when the
Federal Government transitions
government-wide from using DUNS
numbers to the new Unique Entity
Identifier (UEI) system for Federal
awards. For more information and
resources on the transition from DUNS
number to UEI, please visit the Federal
Service Desk website at fsd.gov.

Electronic Submission of Applications
Using MAX.gov
The Department will email each LEA
eligible for FY 2022 SRSA grant funds
a uniquely identifiable application link
on February 9, 2022. The email will
include customized instructions for
completing the electronic application
via the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) MAX Survey platform.
An eligible LEA must submit an
electronic application via OMB MAX
Survey by April 15, 2022, to be assured
of receiving an FY 2022 SRSA grant
award. The Department may consider
applications submitted after the
deadline to the extent practicable and
contingent upon the availability of
funding.
Please note the following:
• We estimate that it will take 30
minutes to submit an application. We
strongly recommend that you do not
wait until the application deadline date
to begin the application process,
however.
• To better ensure applications are
processed in a timely, accurate, and
efficient manner, we will send reminder
emails to any LEAs that have not
submitted applications by March 1,
2022.
• An application received by OMB
MAX Survey is date and time stamped
upon submission and an applicant will
receive a confirmation email after the
application is submitted.
• If you need to update any
information in the application after it
has been submitted via OMB MAX
Survey, you must contact the REAP
program staff directly at reap@ed.gov.
IV. Other Procedural Requirements
Application Deadline Date Extension in
Case of Technical Issues With OMB
MAX Survey
If you are unable to submit an
application by April 15, 2022, because
of technical problems with OMB MAX
Survey, contact the REAP program staff
at reap@ed.gov within five business
days and explain the technical problem
you experienced. We will accept your
late application as having met the
deadline if we can confirm that a
technical problem occurred with the
OMB MAX Survey system and that the
problem affected your ability to submit
your application by the application
deadline date. As noted above, if you
submit your application after the
deadline and the late submission is not
due to a technical issue about which
you have notified the REAP program
staff, the Department may consider your
application to the extent practicable and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Award Information
Type of Award: Formula grant.
Available Funds: The Administration has requested $96,420,000 for
SRSA in FY 2022. The actual level of funding, if any, depends on final
congressional action. However, we are inviting applications to allow
enough time to complete the grant process if Congress appropriates
funds for this program.
Estimated Range of Awards: $0-$60,000.
Note: Depending on the number of eligible LEAs identified in a
given year and the amount appropriated by Congress for the program,
some eligible LEAs may receive an SRSA allocation of $0 under the
statutory funding formula.
Estimated Number of Awards: 4,260.
II. Program Authority and Eligibility Information
Under what statutory authority will FY 2022 SRSA grant awards be made?
The FY 2022 SRSA grant awards will be made under title V, part B,
subpart 1 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as
amended (ESEA).
Which LEAs are eligible for an award under the SRSA program?
For FY 2022, an LEA (including a public charter school that meets
the definition of LEA in section 8101(30) of the ESEA) is eligible for
an award under the SRSA program if it meets both criteria below:
(a) The total number of students in average daily attendance at all
of the schools served by the LEA is fewer than 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) All of the schools served by the LEA are designated with a
school locale code of 41, 42, or 43 by the Department's National Center
for Education Statistics (NCES); or 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.
The Department provides an eligibility spreadsheet containing each
LEA eligible for FY 2022 SRSA grant funds, which is available on the
Department's website at: https://oese.ed.gov/offices/office-of-formula-grants/rural-insular-native-achievement-programs/rural-education-achievement-program/small-rural-school-achievement-program/eligibility/ eligibility/.
If an LEA on the Department's list of LEAs eligible to receive an
FY 2022 SRSA award will close prior to the 2022-2023 school year, that
LEA is no longer eligible to receive an FY 2022 SRSA award and should
not apply.
Note: The ``Choice of Participation'' provision under section 5225
of the ESEA gives an LEA eligible for both SRSA and the Rural and Low-
Income School (RLIS) program authorized under title V, part B, subpart
2 of the ESEA the option to participate in either the SRSA program or
the RLIS program. An LEA eligible for both SRSA and RLIS is henceforth
referred to as a ``dual-eligible LEA.''
[[Page 6153]]
Which eligible LEAs must submit an application to receive an FY 2022
SRSA grant award?
Under 34 CFR 75.104(a), the Secretary makes a grant only to an
eligible entity that submits an application.
In FY 2022, each LEA eligible to receive an SRSA award is required
to submit an SRSA application in order to receive SRSA funds,
regardless of whether the LEA received an award or submitted an
application in any previous year. This includes each dual-eligible LEA
that chooses to participate in the SRSA program instead of the RLIS
program, and each SRSA-eligible LEA that is a member of an educational
service agency (ESA) that does not receive SRSA funds on the LEA's
behalf. In the case of an SRSA-eligible LEA that is a member of an
SRSA-eligible ESA, the LEA and ESA must coordinate with each other to
determine which entity will submit an SRSA application on the LEA's
behalf, as both entities may not apply for or receive SRSA funds for
the LEA. Pursuant to section 5225 of the ESEA, a dual-eligible LEA that
applies for SRSA funds in accordance with these application submission
procedures will not be considered for an RLIS award.
A separate application must be submitted for each eligible LEA and
each applicant must apply with its own unique entity identifier
pursuant to 2 CFR part 25. For example, if a rural community has two
distinct LEAs--one composed of its elementary school(s) and one
composed of its high school(s)--each LEA is required to submit its own
SRSA application with the LEA's own unique entity identifier.
An LEA eligible to receive FY 2022 SRSA funds that fails to submit
an FY 2022 SRSA application in accordance with the requirements below
risks not receiving an FY 2022 SRSA award. The Department may consider
applications submitted after the deadline to the extent practicable and
contingent upon the availability of funding.
As noted above, each applicant must apply with its own unique
entity identifier. The applicant's Data Universal Numbering System
(DUNS) number will serve as the entity identifier until April 4, 2022,
when the Federal Government transitions government-wide from using DUNS
numbers to the new Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) system for Federal
awards. For more information and resources on the transition from DUNS
number to UEI, please visit the Federal Service Desk website at
fsd.gov.
III. Application and Submission Information
Electronic Submission of Applications Using MAX.gov
The Department will email each LEA eligible for FY 2022 SRSA grant
funds a uniquely identifiable application link on February 9, 2022. The
email will include customized instructions for completing the
electronic application via the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
MAX Survey platform.
An eligible LEA must submit an electronic application via OMB MAX
Survey by April 15, 2022, to be assured of receiving an FY 2022 SRSA
grant award. The Department may consider applications submitted after
the deadline to the extent practicable and contingent upon the
availability of funding.
Please note the following:
We estimate that it will take 30 minutes to submit an
application. We strongly recommend that you do not wait until the
application deadline date to begin the application process, however.
To better ensure applications are processed in a timely,
accurate, and efficient manner, we will send reminder emails to any
LEAs that have not submitted applications by March 1, 2022.
An application received by OMB MAX Survey is date and time
stamped upon submission and an applicant will receive a confirmation
email after the application is submitted.
If you need to update any information in the application
after it has been submitted via OMB MAX Survey, you must contact the
REAP program staff directly at [email protected].
Application Deadline Date Extension in Case of Technical Issues With
OMB MAX Survey
If you are unable to submit an application by April 15, 2022,
because of technical problems with OMB MAX Survey, contact the REAP
program staff at [email protected] within five business days and explain the
technical problem you experienced. We will accept your late application
as having met the deadline if we can confirm that a technical problem
occurred with the OMB MAX Survey system and that the problem affected
your ability to submit your application by the application deadline
date. As noted above, if you submit your application after the deadline
and the late submission is not due to a technical issue about which you
have notified the REAP program staff, the Department may consider your
application to the extent practicable and contingent upon the
availability of funding.
