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: Applications for Assistance Section 8002
Impact Aid Program.
OMB Control Number: 1810-0036.
Type of Review: Extension without change of an existing collection
of information.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 250.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 375.
Abstract: The Application for Assistance under Section 8002 of
Title VIII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act is for a grant
program otherwise known as Impact Aid Payments for Federal Property.
Local Educational Agencies that have lost taxable property due to
Federal activities request financial assistance by completing an annual
application. Regulations for Section 8002 of the Impact Aid Program are
found at 34 CFR part 222, subpart B, however these regulations have
recently been superceded by Section 563 of the National Defense
Authorization Act, signed January 2, 2013. The revised
[[Page 44555]]
statute sets the eligibility criteria and the formula for determining
grant payments under Section 8002. The revised application collects
annual data required to calculate payments using the new formula.
Dated: July 18, 2013.

Acting Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Privacy,
