25232 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 82 / Thursday, April 28, 2022 / Notices 

legislative and executive branches of 

government have come together to offer 

relief to those individuals and 

industries affected by the COVID–19 

virus under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, 

and Economic Security (CARES) Act 

(Pub. L. 116–136) authorized on March 

27, 2020, and expanded through the 

Coronavirus Response and Relief 

Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) 

Act, and the American Rescue Plan 

(ARP) Act. The Governor’s Emergency 

Education Relief Fund (GEER Fund) 

awards grants to Governors (States) and 

Outlying Areas for the purpose of 

providing local educational agencies 

(LEAs), institutions of higher education, 

and other education-related entities 

with emergency assistance as a result of 

the coronavirus pandemic. This 

information collection includes annual 

reporting requirements to comply with 

the requirements of the GEER program 

and obtain information on how the 

funds were used by State and Local 

Education Agencies, institutions of 

higher education, and other educationrelated entities. On 2/10/2022, the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) approved the emergency 

collection which included two 

additional questions to address the 

expenditure of GEER funds directly by 

the Governor’s office (or another entity, 

such as the SEA, designated as the 

administrator of the GEER fund by the 

Governor’s office). The Department is 

now requesting approval for a three-year 

clearance. There is no change from the 

emergency collection except for 

clarifying changes. To view the recently 

approved questions, please refer to
