Title of Collection: Formula Grant for

Abstract: The Office of Indian 

Education (OIE) of the Department of 

Education (ED) requests clearance for 

the Indian Education Formula Grant 

Application authorized under Title VII, 

Part A, Subpart 1 of the Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act, as amended 

(ESEA). The Indian Education Formula 

Grant (CFDA 84.060A), is not 

competitive or discretionary and 

requires the annual submission of the 

application from the Local Education 

Agency and or Tribe. The funds under 

this program assist applicants to provide 

Indian students with the opportunity to 

meet the same challenging state 

standards as all other students and meet 

the unique educational and culturally 

related academic needs of American 

Indian and Alaska Native students. The 

amount of the award for each applicant 

is determined by a formula based on the 

reported number of American Indian/ 

Alaska Native students identified in the 

application, the state per pupil 

expenditure, and the total appropriation 

available. The information collection is 

also necessary to meet the Government 

Performance and Results Act (GPRA) 

requirements. The collection is 

authorized by section 7114(a) of the 

ESEA, 20 U.S.C. 7424(a), and by section 

4 of the Government Performance and 

Results Act of 1993 (GPRA).
