Potential Costs and Benefits

The Department is regulating only to permit, at the discretion of each applicant that submits an application of sufficient quality, more schools per LEA to be included in the national evaluation. Additionally, the Department has determined that this regulatory action does not unduly interfere with State, local, and Tribal governments in the exercise of their governmental functions. Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification

The small entities affected by this regulatory action are (1) small LEAs, and (2) nonprofit organizations applying for and receiving funds under this program in partnership with an LEA or a State educational agency (SEA). For the reasons stated in the NFP, 75 FR 28738–28739, the Secretary certifies that this regulatory action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

These interim final requirements contain no new information collection requirements that are subject to review by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 3520). Intergovernmental Review

This program is subject to Executive Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR part 79. One of the objectives of the Executive Order is to foster an intergovernmental partnership and a strengthened federalism. The Executive Order relies on processes developed by State and local governments for coordination and review of proposed Federal financial assistance.
