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.

Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education is requesting approval
for the Application for Assistance under Section 8003 of Title VIII of
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act as amended by No Child Left
Behind. This application is otherwise known as Impact Aid Basic Support
Payments. Local Educational Agencies whose enrollments are adversely
affected by Federal activities use this form to request financial
assistance. Regulations for the Impact Aid Program are found at 34 CFR
part 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 Department of Education's e-Grants Web site.
