the public’s reporting burden. It also

requirements and provide the requested 

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 

public comment 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. Please note

Abstract: The U.S. Department of

Elementary and Secondary Education 

Act as amended by No Child Left 

Behind. This application is otherwise 

known as Impact Aid Basic Support 

Payments. Local Educational Agencies 

whose enrollments are adversely 

affected by Federal activities use this 

form to request financial assistance. 

Regulations for the Impact Aid Program 

are found at 34 CFR part 222. The 

statute and regulations for this program 

require a variety of data from applicants 

annually to determine eligibility for the 

grants and the amount of grant payment

burdensome method of collecting this 

required information is for each 

applicant to submit these data through 

a web-based electronic application 

hosted on the Department of 

Education’s e-Grants Web site.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

President’s Board of Advisors on 

Historically Black Colleges and 

Universities 

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Education, 

President’s Board of Advisors on 

Historically Black Colleges and 

Universities. 

ACTION: Notice of an Open Meeting. 

SUMMARY: This notice sets forth the 

schedule and agenda of the meeting of 

the President’s Board of Advisors on 

Historically Black Colleges and 

Universities. The notice also describes 

the functions of the Board. Notice of the 

meeting is required by section 10(a)(2) 

of the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

and intended to notify the public of its 

opportunity to attend. This notice is 

being published less than 15 days prior 

to the meeting date due to the need to 

obtain sponsors/supplemental funding 

for the meeting during the annual HBCU 

Conference scheduled for the same 

week. Due to stringent budget 

constraints, it is more feasible to have a 

board meeting while the members are 

already in Washington, DC for the 

conference as opposed to having them 

return at a later date and having the 

board incur additional expenses. 

DATES: Wednesday, September 25, 2013. 

Time: 9:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. (EST). 

ADDRESSES: Washington Hilton, Cabinet 

Room, 1919 Connecticut Ave. NW.,
