that the Office of Management and

waive the requirement for public

publishes that notice containing

Title: Quick Response Information 

System (QRIS). 

Frequency: One time. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

household; not-for-profit institutions; 

State, Local, or Tribal Gov’t, SEAs or 

LEAs. 

Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour 

Burden: 

Responses: 3,655. 

Burden Hours: 7,889. 

Abstract: The National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES) Quick 

Response Information System (QRIS) 

consists of the Fast Response Survey 

System (FRSS) and the Postsecondary 

Education Quick Information System 

(PEQIS). The QRIS currently conducts 

surveys under OMB generic clearance 

1850–0733, which expires in October 

2009. This clearance request represents 

a request for a continuation of the 

current clearance conditions through 

October 2012. FRSS primarily conducts 

surveys of the elementary/secondary 

sector (districts, schools) and public 

libraries. PEQIS conducts surveys of the 

postsecondary education sector. FRSS 

and PEQIS surveys are cleared under 

the QRIS generic clearance. The QRIS 

clearance goes through the regular 

clearance process at OMB with a 60-day 

notice and a 30-day notice as part of the 

120-day review period. The QRIS 

package describes the general scope of 

the surveys, their quick turnaround 

time, their length, size of sample, 

sample design, and some typical topics. 

Each individual FRSS or PEQIS survey 

goes into the clearance process with an 

abbreviated clearance package, 

justifying the particular content of the 

survey, describing the sample design, 

the timeline for the survey activities, 

and the questionnaire. The review 

period for each individual survey is 

approximately 45 days, including a 30- 

day Federal Register notice period. 

OMB will provide comments as soon 

after the end of the 30-day notice period 

as possible. This generic clearance 

request is for surveys of state education 

agencies, school districts, schools, 

postsecondary institutions, and 

libraries. Surveys of teachers, students, 

commercial establishments, and 

households are not included in this 

request.

BILLING CODE 4000–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Small, Rural School Achievement 

Program 

AGENCY: Office of Elementary and 

Secondary Education, Department of 

Education. 

ACTION: Notice announcing application 

deadline. 

Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance (CFDA) Number 84.358A. 

SUMMARY: Under the Small, Rural 

School Achievement (SRSA) Program, 

the U.S. Department of Education 

(Department) awards grants on a 

formula basis to eligible local 

educational agencies (LEAs) to address 

the unique needs of rural school 

districts. In this notice, we establish the 

deadline for submission of fiscal year 

(FY) 2009 SRSA grant applications. 

Application Deadline: June 30, 2009, 

4:30:00 p.m. Washington, DC time. 

An eligible LEA that is required to 

submit an application must do so 

electronically by the application 

deadline specified in this notice. If it 

submits its application after this 

deadline, the LEA will receive a grant 

award only to the extent that funds are 

available after the Department awards 

grants to other eligible LEAs under the 

program. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Which LEAs Are Eligible for an Award 

Under the SRSA program? 

An LEA (which includes public 

charter schools that are considered 

LEAs under State law) is eligible for an 

award under the SRSA program if— 

(a) The total number of students in 

average daily attendance at all of the 

schools served by the LEA is fewer than 

600, or each county in which a school 

served by the LEA is located has a total 

population density of fewer than 10 

persons per square mile; and 

(b) All of the schools served by the 

LEA are designated with a school locale 

code of 7 or 8 by the Department’s 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES), or the Secretary has 

determined, based on a demonstration 

by the LEA and concurrence of the State 

educational agency (SEA), that the LEA 

is located in an area defined as rural by 

a governmental agency of the State. 

The school locale codes are the locale 

codes determined on the basis of the 

NCES school code methodology in place 

on the date of enactment of section 

6211(b) of the Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act of 1965, as 

amended. 

Which Eligible LEAs Must Submit an 

Application To Receive a FY 2009 

SRSA Grant Award? 

An eligible LEA must submit an 

application to receive a FY 2009 SRSA 

grant award if it falls under any of the 

following categories: 

1. The LEA never submitted an 

application for SRSA funds in any prior 

year; 

2. The LEA received an SRSA grant 

award for FY 2006 and, as of December 

31, 2008, had not drawn down from the 

Department’s Grant Administration and 

Payment System any of its FY 2006 

SRSA funds; 

3. The LEA was identified in a prior 

year as needing to re-apply for SRSA 

funds because of the absence of 

drawdown activity, but did not do so. 

Under the regulations in 34 CFR 

75.104(a), the Secretary makes grants 

only to an eligible party that submits an 

application. Given the limited purpose 

served by the application under the 

SRSA program, the Secretary considers 

the application requirement to be met if 

the LEA submitted an SRSA application 

for any prior year and does not fall 

under any of the categories listed above 

requiring the submission of a new 

application. In this circumstance, unless 

the LEA advises the Secretary by the 

application deadline that it is 

withdrawing its application, the 

Secretary deems the application that the 

LEA previously submitted to remain in 

effect for FY 2009 funding, and the LEA 

does not have to submit an additional 

application. 

The Department intends to provide, 

by April 30, 2009, a list of LEAs eligible 

for FY 2009 funds on the SRSA Web site 

at http://www.ed.gov/programs/ 

reapsrsa/index.html under the 

‘‘Eligibility’’ hyperlink. The Web site 

will indicate which eligible LEAs must 

submit a new application to the 

Department to receive an FY 2009 SRSA
