    Title of Collection: Impact Aid Discretionary Grant Application 
(1894-0001).
    OMB Control Number: 1810-NEW.
    Type of Review: New ICR.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 25.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 150.
    Abstract: The Impact Aid Program, authorized by Title VII of the 
Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every 
Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), provides financial assistance to Local 
Educational Agencies (LEAs) whose enrollment or revenues are adversely 
affected by Federal activities.
    The Impact Aid Discretionary Construction Program provides grants 
to eligible Impact Aid school districts to assist in addressing their 
school facility emergency and modernization needs. The eligible Impact 
Aid school districts have a limited ability to raise revenues for 
capital improvements because they have large areas of Federal land 
within their boundaries. As a result, these districts find it difficult 
to respond when their school facilities are in need of emergency 
repairs or modernization.
    This is a new information collection requesting approval through 
the streamlined discretionary grant application package process (1894-
0001). This request is not related to rulemaking.
    This collection is being submitted under the Streamlined Clearance 
Process for Discretionary Grant Information Collections (1894-0001). 
Therefore, the 30-day public comment period notice will be the only 
public comment notice published for this information collection.

    Dated: October 10, 2024.

PRA Coordinator, Strategic Collections and Clearance, Governance and 
Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning,
