Each SEA will award no less than 95 percent of its SCG allocation on a competitive basis to high-need LEAs as determined by the State.

    Title of Collection: Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA),

    OMB Control Number: 1810-0770.
    Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 56.

    Abstract: The Department of Education (the Department) requested 
emergency approval of a new information collection under the School 
Improvement Programs section of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act 
(BSCA), and the SCG program which OMB approved. Under this program, the 
Department awards grants to State educational agencies (SEAs) for the 
purpose of providing competitive grants to high-need local educational 
agencies (LEAs) for activities under section 4108 of the Elementary and 
Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA).
    Eligible applicants for the SCG funds include those in any of the 
50 States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, 
the Bureau of Indian Education, and the Outlying Areas. Each SEA will 
award no less than 95 percent of its SCG allocation on a competitive 
basis to high-need LEAs as determined by the State. The SEA will 
reserve no more than 1% of its SCG allocation for administration and 
will use any remaining funds not awarded to LEAs for State-level 
activities to support section 4108 of the Elementary and Secondary 
Education Act of 1965 (ESEA).
    This information collection will support the Department in 
providing effective technical assistance, monitoring and oversight to 
ensure that these funds are awarded and used as required by the BSCA--
i.e., that the funds are awarded to high-need LEAs on a competitive 
basis for activities allowable under section 4108 of the ESEA. 
Department staff will review the information submitted by SEAs (1) for 
monitoring purposes, to verify that SEAs are implementing the BSCA 
requirements for SEA award of the SCG funds; and (2) to understand the 
manner in which SEAs are implementing these requirements. This 
information will enable the Department to provide effective technical 
assistance and support to States. If this information is not collected, 
the Department will be unable to fully and adequately meet monitoring 
and technical assistance responsibilities as States implement this 
program.
