SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Education (ED), in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: Impact Aid 

Program—Application for Section 7003 

Assistance. 

OMB Control Number: 1810–0687. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 301,079. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 87,656. 

Abstract: The U.S. Department of 

Education is requesting approval for an 

extension without change for the 

Application for Assistance under 

Section 7003 of Title VIII of the 

Elementary and Secondary Education 

Act (ESEA) as amended by the Every 

Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). This 

application is for a grant program 

otherwise known as Impact Aid Basic 

Support Payments. Local Educational 

Agencies (LEAs) whose enrollments and 

revenues are adversely impacted by 

Federal activities use this form to 

request financial assistance. Regulations 

for the Impact Aid Program are found at 

34 CFR 222. 

The statute and regulations for this 

program require a variety of data from 

applicants annually to determine 

eligibility for the grants and the amount 

of grant payment under the statutory 

formula. The least burdensome method 

of collecting this required information is 

for each applicant to submit these data 

through a web-based electronic 

application hosted on the Impact Aid 

Grant System (IAGS) website.

7 DOE previously has explained that a LCA is a 

method of accounting for cradle-to-grave GHG 

emissions over a single common denominator. DOE 

considers GHG emissions from all processes in the 

LNG supply chains—from the ‘‘cradle’’ when 

natural gas is extracted from the ground, to the 

‘‘grave’’ when electricity is used by the consumer.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy and 

Carbon Management 1 is in the process 

of rehearing DOE/FE Order No. 3643–A, 

issued on August 20, 2020, in Docket 

No. 14–96–LNG (Alaska LNG Order).2 In 

the Alaska LNG Order, DOE authorized 

exports of LNG from the proposed 

Alaska LNG Project to countries that do 

not have a free trade agreement (FTA) 

requiring national treatment for trade in 

natural gas, and with which trade is not 

prohibited by U.S. law or policy (nonFTA countries).3

As approved by the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC), the 

Alaska LNG Project involves producing 

natural gas from resources on the North 

Slope of Alaska, transporting the natural 

gas on a proposed 806.9-mile-long 

pipeline, and exporting the natural gas 

in the form of LNG by vessel from a 

liquefaction facility to be constructed in 

the Nikiski area of the Kenai Peninsula 

in south central Alaska.4 Under Order 

No. 3643–A, Alaska LNG is currently 

authorized to export this LNG in a 

volume equivalent to 929 billion cubic 

feet per year (Bcf/yr) of natural gas (2.55 

Bcf per day), for a term of 30 years. 

On April 15, 2021, in Order No. 3643– 

B, DOE announced that it was granting 

rehearing of Order No. 3643–A under 

the NGA for the purpose of conducting 

additional environmental analysis.5

Subsequently, on July 2, 2021, DOE 

published a ‘‘Notice of Intent to Prepare 

a Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement for the Alaska LNG Project’’ 

under NEPA.6 The Draft SEIS being 

issued today supplements the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the Alaska LNG Project published by 

FERC on March 6, 2020, and adopted by 

DOE on March 16, 2020 (DOE/EIS– 

0512). 

The Draft SEIS examines the potential 

upstream environmental effects 

associated with incremental natural gas 

production on the North Slope of Alaska 

to support Alaska LNG’s exports of 

LNG. The SEIS also includes a life cycle 

analysis (LCA) calculating the 

greenhouse (GHG) emissions associated 

with exporting LNG from the proposed 

Project.7 Specifically, the LCA examines 

the life cycle GHG emissions for LNG 

exported from Alaska by vessel to 

import markets in Asia (the markets 

targeted for exports from Alaska) and 

potentially in other regions. 

NEPA Process and Public Involvement 

DOE prepared the Draft SEIS in 

accordance with the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

regulations at Title 40, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Parts 1500–1508 (40 CFR 

1500–1508) and DOE NEPA 

implementing procedures at 10 CFR part 

1021. DOE published a Notice of Intent 

in the Federal Register on July 2, 2021, 

announcing its intent to prepare a 

SEIS.8 DOE is providing opportunities 

for public review and comments, 

including a virtual public meeting, on 

this Draft SEIS (see DATES and 

ADDRESSES sections of this notice). 

Signed in Washington, DC, on June 24, 

2022.

Director, Office of Regulation, Analysis, and 

Engagement, Office of Resource 

Sustainability.
