(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the
general public and Federal agencies
with an opportunity to comment on

It also helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. The
Department is soliciting comments on
the proposed information collection
request (ICR) that is described below.
The Department is especially interested
in public comment addressing the

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;

Title of Collection: Application for

Abstract: This is a request to extend
an existing information collection for
the Application for Flexibility for
Equitable Per-pupil Funding, the
instrument through which local
educational agencies (LEAs) apply for
flexibility to consolidate eligible Federal
funds and State and local education
funding based on weighted per-pupil
allocations for low-income and
otherwise disadvantaged students. This
program allows LEAs to consolidate
funds under the following Federal
education programs: Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965
(ESEA); Title I, Part A Improving Basic
Programs Operated by Local
Educational Agencies; Title I, Part C
Education of Migratory Children; Title I,
Part D, Subpart 2 Local Prevention and
Intervention Programs for Children and
Youth Who Are Neglected, Delinquent,
or At-Risk; Title II Preparing, Training,
and Recruiting High-quality Teachers,
Principals, or Other School Leaders;
Title III Language Instruction for English
Learners and Immigrant Students; Title
IV, Part A Student Support and
Academic Enrichment Grants; Title VI,
Part B Rural Education Initiative. On
December 10, 2015, the programs above
were reauthorized by the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965
(ESEA), as amended by the Every
Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The
Flexibility for Equitable Per-pupil
Funding under section 1501 of the
ESEA allows the U.S. Department of
Education (Department) to offer an LEA
the opportunity to consolidate funds
under the above-listed programs to
support the LEA in creating a single
school funding system based on
weighted per-pupil allocations for lowincome and otherwise disadvantaged
students, with attendant flexibility in
using those funds.
