SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Education (ED), in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed,

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in

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;

(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. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be

Title of Collection: Elementary and 

Secondary Improvement Formula 

Grants. 

OMB Control Number: 1810–0682.

Local, or Tribal Governments.

Responses: 3,102.

Burden Hours: 229,800. 

Abstract: This information collection 

request covers requirements for 

applications to the School Improvement 

Grants program. On January 21, 2010, 

the U.S. Department of Education 

(Department) published final 

requirements and a State educational 

agency (SEA) application for the School 

Improvement Grants (SIG) program 

authorized under section 1003(g) of 

Title I of the Elementary and Secondary 

Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as 

amended, and funded through the 

Department of Education 

Appropriations Act, 2009, and the 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act of 2009 (ARRA) (FY 2009). The final 

requirements defined the criteria that an 

SEA must use to award FY 2013 SIG 

funds to local educational agencies 

(LEAs). In awarding these funds, an SEA 

must give priority to the LEAs with the 

lowest-achieving schools that 

demonstrate the greatest need for the 

funds and the strongest commitment to 

using the funds to provide adequate 

resources to their lowest-achieving 

schools that are eligible to receive 

services provided through SIG funds in 

order to raise substantially the 

achievement of the students attending 

those schools. The information 

collection activities consist of: (1) 

Applications for an SEA to submit to the 

Department to apply for FY 2013 SIG 

funds; (2) the reporting of specific 

school-level data on the use of SIG 

funds and specific interventions 

implemented in LEAs receiving SIG 

funds that the Department currently 

collects through EDFacts; (3) the process 

for an LEA to apply to its SEA for SIG 

funds; and (4) the SEAs posting its LEAs 

applications on the SEAs Web site.
