Federal Student Aid

    Type of Review: Reinstatement.
    Title: The Leveraging Educational Assistance Program (LEAP) and 
Special Leveraging Educational Assistance Program (SLEAP) Programs.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Gov't, SEAs or LEAs.
    Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:
     Responses: 56.
     Burden Hours: 560.
    Abstract: The LEAP and SLEAP programs use matching Federal and 
State Funds to provide a nationwide system of grants to assist 
postsecondary educational students with substantial financial need. On 
this performance report the states provide information the Department 
requires about the state's use of program funds in order to demonstrate 
compliance with the program's statutory and regulatory requirements. 
Federal program officials use the performance report data for 
monitoring program funds distribution. With the clearance of this 
collection, the Department is seeking to automate the performance 
reporting process for both the LEAP Program and the subprogram, SLEAP. 
There are no significant changes to the current LEAP form data 
elements, there are however, additional items pertaining to the SLEAP 
program.
