*Type of Review:*                     Extension.                

*Title of Collection:*                     Application Package for the Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP) Small, Rural School Achievement Program.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     1810-0646.                

*Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses:*                     5,052.

*Abstract:*                     This data collection is pursuant to the Secretary's authority under Part B of Title VI of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), to award funds under two grant programs designed to address the unique needs of rural school districts—the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSA) (ESEA Section 6212) and the Rural and Low-Income School Program (ESEA Section 6221). Under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, the Secretary awards grants directly to eligible local educational agencies (LEAs) on a formula basis. Under the Rural and Low-income School (RLIS) Program, eligible school districts are sub-recipients of funds the                           ( print page 8846)                        Department awards to State educational agencies (SEAs) on a formula basis. For both grant programs, the Department awards funds by determining the eligibility of individual school districts and calculating the allocation each eligible district receives according to formula prescribed in the statute.                

This data collection consists of two primary forms and supporting documents that are used to accomplish the grant award process each year: (1) A spreadsheet used by SEAs to submit information to identify RLIS and SRSA-eligible LEAs and to allocate funds based on the appropriate formula, and (2) an application form for SRSA-eligible LEAs to apply for funding.
