Title: Common Core of Data National

Abstract: As a result of American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 

(ARRA), NCES has been asked to add 

six data items to the Common Core of 

Data National Public Education 

Financial Survey (NPEFS) in order to 

allow an adjustment in the state per 

pupil expenditure (SPPE) used in 

allocating Title I, Impact Aid, and other 

ED funds. The Department must be able 

to exclude the ARRA expenditures from 

the SPPE so that they will not affect the 

allocation process. States are already 

required to track the ARRA revenues 

separately. The six additional data items 

will provide the necessary detail to 

exclude ARRA expenditures from SPPE 

and allow states to report total ARRA 

expenditures and their functional 

allocations, such as for classroom 

instruction or school construction. The 

estimated additional data burden time is 

8 hours per respondent, for a total of 79 

burden hours per state data technician 

and 19 burden hours per state data 

manager (total 5,264 burden hours). 

NPEFS annually gathers universe 

information from states about revenues 

and expenditures for public education, 

specifically revenues by source and 

expenditures by function and object, 

such as school administration costs, 

student transportation, food services, 

salaries, benefits, and supply costs.

for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2009 

for the American Indian Vocational 

Rehabilitation Services (AIVRS) 

program. The application notice for the 

FY 2009 AIVRS program competition 

established a July 23, 2009, deadline 

date for eligible applicants to apply for 

funding under this program. Elsewhere 

in this issue of the Federal Register we 

have published interim final regulations

through this notice, we are reopening 

the competition and establishing a new 

deadline for the submission of 

applications by those applicants 

affected by the change.
