SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in

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.

    Dated: June 23, 2022.
Kun Mullan,
PRA Coordinator, Strategic Collections and Clearance Governance and 
Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning, 
Evaluation and Policy Development.
