**Explanation**. This new efficiency measure is intended to track
programmatic efficiency by reducing the amount of time it takes to
process the formula construction grant payments under Section 8007(a) of
the Impact Aid Program.  The target for 2007 is to make at least 30
percent of payments by July 31st and to increase the percentage of
payments made by July 31st in each subsequent year an additional 20
percent.  The long-term goal is to make all of the formula payments in
the summer so LEAs can begin construction projects before the school
year begins.  This measure was revised in 2007 because using dates as
targets did not give as good of an indication of improvement in the
efficiency of the program as using percentages.

**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

**Explanation**. A baseline was supposed to be set in FY 2006 but is not
applicable because the discretionary grant program was not funded in FY
2006 or FY 2007.  The long-term target remains 250 days but the annual
targets will need to be reset once a baseline is established.  Funding
for the discretionary grant program in FY 2008 has yet to be determined.
