Department's information collection requirements and provide the 
requested data in the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the

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: State Agency Use of an Alternative Method To 
Distribute Title I Funds to Local Educational Agencies With Fewer Than 
20,000 Total Residents.
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0620.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 25.

    Abstract: Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education 
Act gives State Educational Agencies (SEA) the flexibility to use an 
alternative method to distribute Title I, Part A funds to small Local

associated with the actual process an SEA must follow to obtain 
approval from ED to use alternative poverty data to redistribute Title 
I, Part A funds to small LEAs.
