The Department is especially interested in public comments 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.

OMB Control Number: 1810–0036. 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: 215. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 323. Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is requesting an extension 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:35 Oct 14, 2022 Jkt 259001 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. Dated: October 12, 2022.
