    Type of Review: Revision.
    Title: Application for Grants under the Smaller Learning 
Communities Program.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Gov't, SEAs or LEAs.
    Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:

    Abstract: The Smaller Learning Communities program awards grants to 
local educational agencies. This collection solicits applications for 
grant funding from eligible applicants. It describes the priorities, 
selection criteria, performance indicators, and other information that 
applicants must address in their applications. The information received 
from this collection will be used by the Department of Education to 
evaluate the eligibility of applicants and the quality of the 
applications they submit to determine the applications that merit grant 
funding. The Department of Education is proposing to establish two 
priorities and one new definition, eliminate several information 
collection requirements, and revise the selection criteria used to 
evaluate applications.
